A magnificent and richly detailed verdure tapestry, woven in Flanders during the mid-17th century, showcasing the height of Baroque pastoral artistry. This summer scene is enveloped in the lush abundance of nature, a hallmark of the verdure tradition, where foliage dominates and human presence is often minimal or subtly integrated. Flemish verdure tapestries were prized throughout Europe for their ability to bring nature indoors at a time when gardens were symbols of wealth and power. These works served not only decorative but also practical purposes—insulating the stone walls of castles and manor houses. The 17th century marked a transition from the highly narrative medieval tapestry tradition to one that celebrated landscape and ornamentation, reflecting contemporary tastes and the growing appreciation for nature.15 feet high x 9 feet wide

Caring for your rug
Vacuum your rug frequently and use a vacuum which uses suction and does not have bristles. If possible, set vacuum to low power setting and vacuum the rug up and down and do not use a back-and-forth motion.
If possible, rotate the rug every few years to allow foot traffic to be spread evenly and shade the rug from direct sunlight to avoid fading in areas.
A rug pad is recommended on all surfaces to prevent slipping and stop marking if on floors with grooves or lines. Professional cleaning is recommended every two or three years.
