About the Item
This 17th-century Flemish verdure tapestry is a remarkable example of Baroque textile art, celebrated for its lush naturalism and painterly detail. Handwoven in Flanders from wool and silk, the piece depicts a tranquil forest landscape alive with exotic birds, abundant foliage, and distant architectural elements — a visual escape into the idyllic countryside scenes that defined Flemish weaving of the period.
What makes this tapestry truly special is its depth of composition and color harmony. The palette of muted blues, greens, and ochres has gracefully softened over centuries, giving it that coveted antique patina that can’t be replicated. The delicate floral border frames the central scene, creating a balance between movement and symmetry typical of Brussels or Oudenaarde workshops of the late 1600s.
This piece is worth its value not only for its age and craftsmanship, but for its enduring decorative impact. A tapestry like this brings immediate warmth, texture, and grandeur to a space — whether displayed in a traditional interior or as a statement piece in a modern setting.
