This limited edition (1/24) of large Life size art print is a facsimile reproduction of an original point paper from France, via Belgium.
The work originates with French weaver Bergerot of Cysoing. They commissioned the technical point paper and possibly the artwork with a Flemish design studio in the March 1972. The original point paper has two panels, each with a design company stamp that reads ARTICAXARRERO. The artist is anonymous.
The point paper was acquired in 2017 when the factory in Cysoing was being renovated after the weaver had ceased trading a few years earlier. We believe the design was a special project, possibly a wall hanging as the design is not a typical furnishing style. It is quite curious and very interesting. The print we have produced could be hung as a landscape or portrait.
A unique piece of textile history, once framed and hung, your new artwork will not just be decorative it can be a fabulous topic for discussion. Many of our customers are fascinated about the detail and accuracy of each painted square and love working out how each point/square plays its unique part in transferring its weave to create a woven fabric!
Background to the Facsimiles - Life size collection
Unlike our standard open line of A3 prints, for the limited edition range of Life size prints We have tried hard to reproduce accurate reproductions of the original point paper textile documents sizes from our archive. After a high-resolution scan, we have left blemishes, pencil notes and stains when appropriate so that you see the ‘full picture’ our original industry art depicts.
Our specialist printer’s wide width scans are limited to .9m width, which thankfully is usually the maximum width of the individual papers once hand painted on the designer’s drawing tables. Commercial paper width used to determine this width as did a designer’s arm span!
In some cases, larger design repeats were drawn on several separate papers and often there may have been 2-6 pieces for one woven design repeat. In fact, some of the specialist 1900’s tapestry point papers we have involved up to 32 pieces to create a large wall hanging tapestry.
To create the ‘Life size Art’ we have joined up each scanned piece on CAD to replicate the detailed ‘Life size’ Art as close to the originals dimensions as possible.
Our local hands-on graphic designer uses a Giclée print process with Ultra Chrome EpsonK3 inks. The high-resolution scan facilitates a 1440 dpi output print.

Finally, Please note; The image set in a frame on our Etsy listing is a digital mock up for image display purpose only. We do not ship framed. If preparing your frame style in advance, do not cut matt/mount border until you receive the print. On some of our reproduction prints the numbers and some writing on the edges can create different preferences on where to lay up the matt/mount border. These may be covered by the matt/mount border...or not. Thank you for your understanding.
