Finer than typical and with a greater range of yellowy greens, this tapestry was probably made in Audenaard around 1650. Now reduced to a small strip, the size can fit in many small places around the home. Featuring a bird in the foreground, a little lamb in the middle ground and a castle in the background, with a generous dollop of verdure on the top. Very lovely.

This seventeenth-century Flemish verdure tapestry is woven from wool and silk, rendered in shades of green and yellow with brown and blue highlights. The vertical composition displays a dense forest canopy of leafy foliage at the top, opening to a winding path in the middle ground with a small animal, a bird in the foreground, and a distant landscape with rolling hills visible at the rear. The textile is bordered by plain fabric strips along the vertical edges and suspended from a wooden hanging rod by metal eyelets at the top. The narrow panel measures 250 cm high and 70 cm wide. Designed in an English Country House style, the textile fits into a narrow wall space in a hallway, stairwell, study, or living room. The piece serves as a decorative wall hanging in various compact areas throughout the home.

FAQs

Flemish verdure tapestries are hand-woven pictorial wall hangings produced primarily in Flanders during the 16th and 17th centuries, characteristically featuring dense forest landscapes, rich foliage, and animal motifs.

Historic tapestries were woven by hand using natural spun fibres, predominantly wool for structural strength in the warp and weft, often combined with silk threads to create highlights and fine visual texture.

Authentic period tapestries exhibit organic yarn irregularities, natural dye oxidisation over time, hand-stitched conservation work, and a reverse side showing loose yarn ends from the hand-weaving process.

A vertical tapestry acts as an impactful textile feature when mounted on a neutral wall, serving to soften architectural lines and add historical texture alongside modern furniture.

Textile wall hangings must be kept away from direct sunlight and hung using velcro conservation strips to distribute weight evenly, requiring only light surface dusting through a protective mesh screen.
