Straight out of an exotic tapestry, this golden-plumed parrot perches among vines and grapes, in the spirit of the "Indies" tapestries that graced homes of yesteryear.

The luminous yellows of the bird, enhanced with red and blue, contrast beautifully with the foliage and ripe grapes.

Hand-painted in our Parisian workshop, this needlepoint canvas is part of Annie Bouquet's universe, where heritage, poetry, and artisanal craftsmanship come together to create unique pieces.

Two options:
Canvas only: the hand-painted canvas, ready to be embroidered with your yarns.
Complete kit: the hand-painted canvas, "La Royale" Aubusson fine wool for the motif and background, needle, and stitch instructions.

Design dimensions:
36 × 22 cm (≈ 14.2 × 8.7 in)

Antique Monofilament:
13 stitches/inch (13 mesh, ≈ 5.1 sts/cm)

Skill Level:
Accessible to embroiderers of all levels. Its refined and colorful subject makes it a remarkable piece.

Finishing & Use:
Once embroidered, then assembled and filled, this needlepoint canvas becomes a decorative brick (doorstop) that adorns the base of a door, a shelf, or a fireplace, bringing the charm of yesteryear's works to your interior.

Through the time it requires, the gesture it embodies, and the material it reveals, this embroidery acquires a value far beyond its mere decorative use.

Your kit includes everything you need to complete your project:

• Canvas designed in our Paris atelier
• Threads including French Aubusson wool “La Royale,” signature of the Annie Bouquet house
• Tapestry needles
• Detailed instruction booklet

In our atelier, design, threads, and colors work in harmony. Annie selects each shade one by one and, depending on the motif, combines different fibers, wool, cotton, silk, to reveal the full richness of the design and create a perfectly balanced ensemble, ready to stitch.
