French Aubusson

The revival of Arts and Crafts movement and William Morris designs during the late Victorian period saw a resurgence of interest arise in tapestries and designs. With most European workshops in decline after the French Revolution and an increasing awareness of the British ship a tapestry of the Chamber was founded in 1876 by two Frenchmen, Marcel Henri Brignoles and CJ Henry. Royal Windsor was one of two houses tapestry established in the nineteenth century England, the other was William Morris' Merton Abbey.

Influence French at the Royal Court

Many of the workers at the Royal Windsor Tapestry Works came from France and the Works of Aubusson. Usually women worked as tapestry repairers and children attended a public school near the center of the dye. Brignoles use the influence in the dyeing of Aubusson and color schemes, however fine and detailed work produced is probably the best legacy of this French community. The first piece was produced a bust of Queen Victoria taken from the painting by Baron Heinrich von Angeli and adapted by Phoebus Levin. The youngest son of Queen, Prince Leopold took a special interest in the works and designs, of which enjoyed significant royal patronage. The prince chaired the committee formed to oversee the factory and is accompanied by other members of the royal family until his sudden death in 1884.

The Royal Windsor Tapestry Works are known for some very detailed and magnificent designs during his short life. These include the famous Merry Wives of Windsor, a series of eight panels that awarded in 1878 won the gold medal in Paris. Telling the story of Falstaff these delicate but vibrant art works have an exquisite detail and framed with a bold border, very French in style and exuding joy and warmth to reflect the work. The flowers are in Elizabethan gardens and decorate the Eglantine panels and add the details of the image itself. These tapestries missing for many years, which emerged during the late 1970s when he appeared in seven panels auction.

As the Royal Windsor Tapestry Works grew in popularity of Queen Victoria became interested in design and encouraged other members of the royal commission into pieces. The initial two lower frame looms increased to a total of eight as the work grew in popularity and requested more committees, with 16 in place its closure in 1890. The Queen had several repairs tapestry factory including Holyrood.

Shakespeare in the tapestry

Another design out of a famous Royal Windsor, on behalf of Luis prices, Marchioness of Lorne was a tapestry celebrating "Much Ado About Nothing." It is believed that the piece is now on display at the Palais des Buckingham. The Queen Sofa with two caricatures of detail and delicate wild roses worked on the design and the monogram of Queen Victoria is a well known piece of Royal Windsor and now is part of the Royal Collection. The artists have created a unique collection that reflects the British tradition and culture intertwined with nature and with a design based in French. Significantly, these tapestries were designed for royalty and the rich and were not produced in series for the emerging middle class. EA Ward designed many parts out of Royal Windsor, including the largest tapestry, the Battle of Aylesford. It is believed that very few of the original designs and cartoons have survived. Designed parts for the Mansion House in London were destroyed during the bombing, while others are believed to have been eliminated by Edward VII in the execution of the estate of Queen Victoria.

New trends and future

The sudden death of Prince Leopold in 1884 set disappearance of Royal Windsor and the factory started to decrease after a short lifespan and innovating very detailed and unique designs. Events coincided with a general downturn in the economy and the growing nationalism in Europe, plus commission and could not be found. Instead of associating with royalty bankrupt factory that made the decision to close the works in 1890. Hangings were growing in the United States with the new immigrants who wish to play a piece of their European heritage. Many French workers, including family Foussadiers left England for America to take the form of working Aubusson in a new emerging market and developing their expertise in the new world. detailed tapestries remain today's popular and new manufacturing techniques, a well-made and detailed tapestry is a popular and inexpensive way to decorate a home.
