Hi Robert,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

Robert Four is a renowned name in the world of French tapestry, particularly known for his association with the Aubusson workshops. Aubusson tapestries are a traditional form of French art, named after the town of Aubusson, where weaving expertise dates back to the 16th century.
Four (1909–1994) was a master of tapestry design, and his works are notable for their modern interpretations of traditional themes. He worked with the Aubusson tapestry workshops to create beautifully intricate pieces, often blending classical techniques with contemporary design elements. It is likely that this lush garden tapestry was made in the second half of the 20th Century, circa 1970s-80s.

When Four's tapestries come to auction, they typically sell for prices ranging from $300-3,000, depending on complexity and size; yours has a value within this range: $1,200-1,800.
