This rare 8×10 late 17th-century Flemish Verdure tapestry, handwoven in wool by Rug & Kilim, captures a naturalistic “garden” scene with lush foliage in a celebrated Flemish style. Measuring 256.54 cm wide and 299.72 cm long, it features intricate details, a controlled palette of indigo blue, cream, and selective gold accents, and a formal architectural setting with classical columns and arches framing the central tableau.
The design showcases two symmetrically balanced flowering trees, rendered with botanical precision, flanking a narrative scene of aristocratic leisure. A precisely depicted heron or crane stands among human figures in period attire, while classically draped cherub-like figures adorn the edges, enhancing the harmonious balance. The skilled use of graduated color blending (hachure) adds dimensional modeling to the vegetation and architectural elements, reflecting the discerning taste of the era.
In good condition for its age, this tapestry is intended for wall-hanging projects only, preserving its historical integrity. Crafted in Belgium in the 1690s, it stands as a testament to the enduring allure of Flemish weaving tradition, offering a timeless piece for collectors of antique decor.
