Neyret Freres Woven Silk Pictures ( French Tapestries) Neyret Freres Woven SilkPictures  During World War I, my grandfather and a groupof his fellow soldiers went AWOL for an evening with the tacitpermission of their commanding officer, who could not "officially"grant them leave from the their duties. So, off they went to Paris,where my grandfather purchased a souvenir postcard and "handkerchief,which were, in fact, Neyret Freres woven silk tapestries. Over theyears, we almost forgot that these pictures were woven. These tapestries vary widely in value.Depending upon the size, I have seen them sell from around $80 to$800. Those silks that cross over into other collectables areas, suchas billiards, are desired by more people, and therefore demand agreater price. Other collectors collect the silks in series, and thePerez series is is particularly popular. Religious NF tapestries tendto sell for less, as they seem to have less interest at this time.Notably, most of the Neyret Freres woven silk pictures are in blackand white, but some have been hand-painted to add splashes of color.I have no information as to how some came to be painted, and I wouldbe interested to receive any information regarding this. Condition is extremely important. The ideal isto get the pictures in perfectly preserved, unframed condition. Thenext best condition would be framed in a way that has preserved itscolor and condition. Framed silks, exposed to light over many years,often become faded, particularly the colored ones. Many of thesetapestries were purchased as souvenirs during wartime and may havebeen unknowingly damaged by the soldiers who handled them and leftoily residue behind on the pictures. Others of these tapestries wereplaced in family scrapbooks, and were again touched again and againor damaged by acidic pages. Over time, these silks are subject tofoxing, which manifests itself as small, yellowed spots on thetapestry. If you own any Neyret Freres woven silk pictures, take careto protect the silk from handling and fading. I have been in touch with Neyret Freres etCie, and even THEY don't know much about them. It seems as though thehistory of these silks is being quickly lost. Neyret Freres et Ciedoesn't produce them any more... production stopped after WWII.Neyret Freres it Cie made the pictures from the early 1800's untiljust after World War II. There is a museum in St. Etienne which has acollection of Neyret Freres silks and the looms which created them.These Jacquard looms created the tapestries through a series of cardsthat worked together to created the masterful tapestries you seeevidenced in these silks. The silks exist in several sizes, and itappears that the same pictures may have continued to be reproducedover a long period of time. Many NF silks were sold as postcards. C.Radley reports that the earliest recorded NF silk postcard wasproduced in 1903. Themes range from Art Nouveau, famous paintings,religious topics, patriotism, and burning buildings. Other silks wereproduced in several different sizes, some being as large as 16" x 20"or greater. Children, lovers, and historical themes are oftendepicted. Many of the silk tapestries were of paintings by suchartists as F. Morgan, Wunsch, P.A. Cot, Alonzo Perez, F. Lemmatte,Rosa Bonheur, C. Bonnefond, and E. Sonrel. It would be interesting todiscover why works by these particular artists were chosen over otherchoices. If anyone knows, please get in touch with me. Incidentally, Neyret Freres was not the onlycompany who created these silks. Thomas Stevens of England verysuccessfully promoted the "Stevengraph" through advertising, andStevensgraphs are well-known as collectables today. Grant and Cashalso created silks. A few tapestries were also produced in China, anddepict famous landmarks from around the world. In the US, sometapestries were produced in Paterson, New Jersey, and these tend tolook remarkably like NF woven silk pictures. Many of these appear tohave been glued to a cardboard backing and adhere to American themes.I have no information regarding whether or not the Paterson silkswere in any way connect to Neyret Freres et Cie, but I wouldn't besurprised if it were true... they are remarkably similar in nature.If anyone out there knows anything about the silks from Paterson, NJ,please let me know! Neyret Freres woven silk tapestries are ownedby many people who don't know anything about them. Most are marked NFor NFF at the bottom and have the original artists' name printed onthe opposite side. Many people think these are Stevensgraphs, butthere really is little similarity between the types. It is oftendifficult to discern that these silks are woven because the weave isso fine they look printed or engraved. If you look at the back, thepicture looks like a negative, and that helps to distinguish thetapestries from other types of pictures.  The Jacquard loom, originally utilized byCarquillat of France, has retired to museums around the world. Theearly linked punch card looms, guided by human hands have beenreplaced by cost-efficient, computerized machines that produce fabricfor more every-day uses. Very few companies are producing woven silkpictures any more, and none live up to the beautiful style and beautyof the type that were produced by Neyret Freres. There is a sense ofhistory in every fiber of the tapestries, and people are onlybeginning to create larger collections of these silks. I have watchedthe popularity of these growing, and I don't think their "time hascome", so to speak. If ever there was an opportunity to collect thesesilks before they go up in value, the time is now. Many of you have written to measking for the value of specific pictures. I can only give you thefollowing answer:From what I can determine, THE STORM is themost common of all the Neyret Freres pictures. I'm not sure why thatis so, but it is a fact that most people who email my website areinquiring about this picture. So, from my best estimates, I woulddoubt that one could get more than $125 for The Storm, even in thehottest market. Personally, I would NEVER sell a NF picture for lessthan $80.00.As far as how much you should get for yourpicture, I cannot say. It's simply a matter of luck and market. ThePerez series seems to be very popular, as there seem to be themesthat cross over to other areas of collectibles, such as billiards,fencing, and music. Religious items do not seem to be very popular atthis time, although religious items are just as beautiful as all ofthe others. From time to time, I have run across some unusually largeNF pictures, and they should certainly be worth more than the basic14" X 17" or 6'" X 8" item. If you have a 16" x 24" NF picture, thatis far less common than most of these tapestries. If you want to sell a Neyret Freres picture,try eBay. Be sure to list keywords throughout your description, suchas Neyret Freres, Stevengraph, woven silk picture, tapestry, andjacquard.As I have already stated, many people who ownthese pictures don't even know what they are. There are growingnumbers of collectors, however. Time might be an advantage. This web page is copyrighted by theauthor.  Search for books at Amazon.com by author's name, title or subject words.
