Flemish Tapestry, Circa 1570, 3.40m X 3.70m

16th century
Description

Woven in the Oudenaard workshops of Flanders and dating to the last part of the 16th century, this imposing tapestry depicts the well-known moment when the Queen of Sheba presents gifts to King Solomon, surrounded by courtiers. There are wonderful architectural and landscape features too, as well as the intricate drawing of the costumes of the main figures. Note too the charming scene in the top right hand corner of the field with a camel train. Indeed the wealth of detail and beautiful drawing are quite spectacular. The borders are a fine frame and equally attractive, composed of fruit and lush vegetation. The subtle shades of green gold and blue create a stunning visual impact. Probably adjusted in the width, this wonderful tapestry is a wonderful size which could now work in many decorative schemes, both domestic and commercial.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Sixteenth-century Flemish tapestries are recognised for their complex narrative compositions, classical or biblical imagery, and intricate foliate borders. Produced predominantly in centres like Brussels, Bruges, and Antwerp, these textiles combined artistic design with skilled hand-weaving.

High-status Renaissance tapestries were woven using natural wool for the warp threads and a combination of wool, silk, and occasionally metallic threads for the weft. Natural dye sources such as madder, woad, and weld provided rich tones.

Authenticity is assessed through structural analysis of the weave count, examination of dye fading on the reverse side, identification of weaver or city marks woven into the selvedge, and evaluation of period-appropriate hand-stitching.

Large textiles provide visual weight and sound absorption in spacious interiors. Modern designers often display them against neutral masonry walls or in high-ceilinged spaces to serve as a focal point alongside contemporary or period furnishings.

Preservation requires support systems such as stitched Velcro headers to distribute weight evenly. Textiles should be kept away from direct sunlight, maintained in controlled humidity, and periodically inspected by professional textile conservators.
