Description:
Antique Tapestry From Flanders-First Half 18th Century H=104 1/2 (~8.7ft.), W=150 (~12.5ft.) During the Middle Ages and through the Hundred Years War, France was considered the world's most important producer of tapestry, with Paris being the tapestry capital of the western world. Unfortunately, during the Hundred Years War, with pillaging and unrest, many woven tapestry pieces were lost or burned for their precious metal content. Eventually tapestry artists, skilled dyers and tapestry craftsmen moved north towards Flanders into what today is called Holland and Belgium. In 16th century Flanders, the towns of Oudenaarde, Brussells, Geraardsbergen and Enghein had become the center of European tapestry production. Starting in the 17th century, Flemish tapestries were arguably the most important productions, with many specimens of this era still existant, demonstating the intricate detail of pattern and colour. What you see above is a fine example of a Flanders tapestry woven in the first half if the 1700s. It is in very good condition with a few small seperations only noticeable upon very close inspection. Some previous restorations; Made of wool, linen, and silk. Please contact us if you would like photos, video, or more information. Thank you, Le Louvre French Antiques
