Mid-17th Century Brussels Verdure Tapestry 5'9"x 8'5" - 175 x 257
A rare and important 17th century European tapestry from Belgium, handwoven circa 1650 in wool with a flat-weave construction. The central field features a richly detailed multicolored design, framed by a deep forest green border, exemplifying the artistry and refinement of the Flemish weaving tradition.
Belgium was one of the leading tapestry-producing centers of the 16th and 17th centuries, celebrated for its ability to combine narrative themes, decorative flourishes, and exquisite craftsmanship. This piece, preserved for nearly 375 years, embodies the grandeur of European decorative arts during the Baroque era.
This tapestry is not only a decorative textile but a historical artifact, offering collectors and connoisseurs a rare opportunity to acquire a fine example of 17th-century Flemish weaving.
