70 X 250cm 17th Century Flemish Tapestry

17th century
Description

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.

2'2" x 8'1"

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.

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

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.
