It features four noble figures from medieval legend, including Godfrey of Bouillon, famed leader of the First Crusade (1096–1099). Above them, their heraldic shields hang from trees, secured with leather straps — a symbol of honour and heritage.

The richly detailed floral ground evokes the mille-fleurs (thousand flowers) style typical of medieval tapestry art, blending history, mythology, and timeless craftsmanship in a single woven scene.

This beautiful tapestry is woven on a jacquard loom by skilled weavers, keeping alive the centuries old tradition of tapestry manufacturing from generation to generation. This tapestry is fully lined incorporating a sleeve along the top for hanging with a Hines hanging rod. Alternatively, this tapestry can be hung with a wooden batten which is a concealed method of hanging.

Composition: Loom Woven
Finish on reverse: This tapestry is fully backed with luxury cotton lining incorporating a sleeve along the top for hanging purposes. See less
