About the Item

This impressive pair of tall Flemish tapestries was crafted in the late 19th century, inspired by the Renaissance and early Baroque decorative tradition of the Flanders weaving centers. Each panel features an elegant allegorical figure standing within an architectural framework, surrounded by stylised vines, scrolls and fantastical motifs typical of Northern European tapestry design. Below, richly detailed medallions depict lively pastoral scenes with musicians, travelers, baskets, rustic landscapes and charming village architecture, all rendered in a vibrant palette of blues, greens and soft earth tones. The composition is framed by intricate grotesques, putti, and ornamental vases, creating a sophisticated vertical décor ideally suited for flanking a doorway, enhancing a grand hallway, or adding height and presence to any interior. The tapestries are hand-woven in wool with the textured surface and subtle irregularities characteristic of traditional Flemish craftsmanship from this period. Their elongated format and remarkable decorative richness make them exceptional architectural pieces for collectors of European textiles or refined classical Note there is a slight difference in size.

Pair of Antique Tapestry Borders from Flanders, circa 1580
Located in Dallas, TX
A beautiful pair of tapestry fragments, hand-woven in Flanders (now Belgium), circa 1580. At roughly 132 inches (11 feet) long, the fragments were, originally, vertical borders to a very large and brightly colored tapestry. The colors have maintained their vibrancy over the last 400+ years, with deep blue, brown, green, and red accents over a gold and cream background. Although the fragments do not have identical scenes, it is readily apparent that they originated from the same source. At the top of each fragment is a bearded warrior clad in golden armor with a flowing blue cape and green greaves. A shield rests on the ground, supported by the soldier’s left hand, while his right hand lifts a spear into the air. Towards the center of the textile is a pair of musicians, one strumming a lute, while the other plucks a lyre. At the bottom of each tapestry is a single female figure, well-dressed and sitting on a bench with one arm overhead. The remaining areas have been filled with fruit bouquets, architectural elements, and other figurative representations. A more recent navy blue border surrounds the scenes and the backs have been lined with a mauve colored linen. Our hand-woven tapestry borders...
