72 X 72cm Early 17th Century Fine Flemish Tapestry

17th century
Description

Such an eye-catching and charming scene makes a beautiful little picture. Four servants are charged with preparing the feast of a roast pig and here they are, carrying it upside down on a pole, over their shoulders. It's such a lovely detail on what would have been a much larger tapestry but makes a complete story on its own. Professionally mounted.

2'4" x 2'4" (Frame)

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

A 17th-century Flemish tapestry is a hand-woven pictorial textile produced in Flanders, a region renowned during the Renaissance and Baroque eras for manufacturing complex narrative wall hangings.

Flemish tapestries were predominantly woven using hand-spun wool for durability and warmth, combined with silk threads to highlight detailed features and luminous colour tones.

Authentic pieces display irregular hand-woven warp and weft structures, natural dye variations, historic stitching repairs, and characteristic age-related wear or oxidation along thread margins.

Tapestry fragments are frequently mounted inside museum-quality shadowbox frames or hung on minimalist rods above sideboards and mantels to create an architectural focal point.

Preservation requires keeping the textile out of direct sunlight, maintaining stable humidity, supporting fragile areas with conservation-grade backing, and avoiding chemical cleaning agents.
