Portière tapestries were traditionally used in French chateaux and palaces in past centuries, they are unique in that they are designed to fill narrow wall spaces. A portière is a hanging curtain placed over a door or over the doorless entrance to a room.
The tapestries are in excellent condition and each measure 7 (w) x 5.11 (h) ft.
Provenance:
Sotheby's Auction House, New York, NY in 1995.
