Fishing and trading scenes, particularly those depicting the northern ports, were popular subjects in 17th-century Flemish art. These maritime themes emerged as a way for Flemish weavers to compete with the French pastoral scenes that dominated the period. This tapestry captures the dynamic life of coastal communities, highlighting the intricate craftsmanship and historical significance of the time.

This beautiful tapestry is hand-woven by skilled artisans in pure New Zealand wool, keeping alive the centuries old traditional weaving methods 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: 100% Pure New Zealand Wool
