Vivienne Westwood (1941-2022) / The Rug Company

Union Jack Aubusson Tapestry, 2005
handwoven wool Aubusson of the iconic 'VW Flag', on wooden stretcher
88.9 x 150.8cm (35 x 59 3/8in).

Footnotes

Vivienne Westwood and The Rug Company joined forces in 2005. The iconic 'VW Flag' motif was first provocatively modelled as a bridal stole in the Autumn/Winter 02/03 'Anglophilia' collection. The raggedy worn-out and possibly blood-soaked original flag is precisely reproduced in very fine hand-woven wool tapestry.

Provenance
with The Rug Company, where purchased by the present owner.
