Description

Wonderful subject matter of fabulous fish swimming in the sea with two naked fisherman sitting on the backs of turtles, spears poised. Lovely soft colours of cream, pale greens and yellows with flashes of red. I particularly like the alarmed looking fish staring straight at you in centre stage. Framed and with hooks for hanging, probably was used over a fire place but could fit in so many places and be a charming addition to the ambience.

1'3" x 7'0"

Date of Manufacture

James Cohen Antique Carpets has dated this Antique Flemish Tapestry to the 1700s.

FAQs

Flemish tapestries originated in Flanders during the medieval period and reached their artistic peak in the Renaissance and Baroque eras, celebrated for intricate pictorial storytelling.

Master weavers traditionally utilised a warp of wool or linen combined with a weft of dyed wool, silk, and occasionally metallic threads of gold and silver.

Authenticity is determined by examining hand-spun yarn characteristics, natural vegetable dye fading patterns, selvage edges, and the weave density typical of historical workshops.

Mounting a historic textile on a minimalist wall allows the rich textures and narrative scenes to serve as a sophisticated focal point, contrasting with clean architectural lines.

Preservation requires avoiding direct sunlight to prevent dye degradation, refraining from hanging them in high-humidity areas, and occasionally consulting professional textile conservators for gentle cleaning.
