FAQs

Feuilles de choux, or cabbage leaf tapestries, are a style of verdure wall hanging popular in the 16th century featuring large, overlapping stylized leaves that often filled the entire composition.

These textiles were traditionally hand-woven on high-warp or low-warp looms using wool and silk yarns, frequently incorporating dyed threads from natural sources such as madder, weld, and indigo.

Authentication involves examining the hand-spun nature of the fibres, the type of natural dye fading, the weave density, and comparing the stylistic rendering of botanical motifs to known historical examples.

Mounting the textile professionally onto a stretched conservation fabric frame allows it to be displayed as a focal point on a plain wall, balancing historic texture with contemporary minimalism.

To prevent fibre degradation, historic tapestries must be protected from direct sunlight, kept away from high humidity, and periodically inspected by conservation specialists for dust accumulation.
