Late 17th Century Flemish Baroque Verdure Tapestryrug no. j5160

Description

This grand textile masterfully creates a dramatic sense of depth, utilizing majestic, densely foliated trees in the foreground to frame an idyllic, sun-dappled valley. Nestled in the central meadow near a winding stream is a beautifully rendered grazing cattle, accompanied by a secondary resting animal, while a distant historic village or castle skyline crowns the horizon under a soft sky. The composition is entirely enclosed by its rare and magnificent original wide border, which is intricately hand-woven with a lush, continuous garland of classical blossoms, fruits, and scrolling acanthus leaves. Woven in premium hand-spun wool, the tapestry retains a remarkable amount of its historic coloration, featuring deep indigo blues, organic forest greens, warm caramel tones, and soft cream highlights. The presence of naturalistic wildlife paired with an intact original border makes this an incredibly collectible and sought-after piece for elite interior spaces. The tapestry has undergone expert conservation and is completely fitted with a clean, full fabric lining on the reverse, complete with integrated professional hanging pockets for effortless and structurally secure installation. Spanning over nine feet in height, it serves as a spectacular, soul-stirring statement piece for a grand dining hall, entry salon, or formal living room.
