- Lot Description
French, late 19th century, signed "Braquenie" lower left, depicting gentleman and two ladies picking cherries, with a boy and two chickens at their feet, 73-1/2 x 47 in.
Provenance: Private Collection
Note: The French fabric brand Braquenié was founded in 1824 by Pierre Antoine Demy and his wife, who opened a shop in Paris selling "laine-fer en meubles". In 1842 and 1845, the couple joined forces with the Braquenié brothers, and in 1875 the company became "Braquenié et Cie" after Henri-Charles Braquenié married Demy's daughter. Braquenié is known for its printed cottons, silks, and hand-woven rugs, and has been featured in the Louvre, the Vatican, and the homes of European royalty, and Victor Hugo.
