FAQs

Flemish tapestries of the seventeenth century were produced in major weaving centres such as Brussels, Bruges, and Ghent, characterised by complex narrative compositions, classical architecture, and detailed landscape backgrounds executed during the Baroque period.

These tapestries were hand-woven on looms using a combination of dyed wool for the main structural warp and weft, often integrated with silk threads to highlight finer details, figures, and architectural features.

Authentic period tapestries exhibit natural vegetable-dye colour variations, hand-spun yarn irregularities, visible hand-stitching on the reverse, and characteristic weave density consistent with historical production techniques.

A large tapestry can be mounted on a primary focal wall using custom lining and velcro hanging systems, serving as an artistic backdrop in a hallway, dining area, or main reception room.

Preservation requires hanging the tapestry with uniform weight distribution, protecting the fibres from direct sunlight, maintaining stable humidity levels, and consulting specialist textile conservators for cleaning.
