Antique Flemish Verdure Pictorial Tapestry in Blue and Cream Tones - Rug & Kilim
About the Item
Handwoven in wool, this 8x10 Flemish Verdure tapestry from the late 17th Century is a rare and special new curation from Rug & Kilim—featuring a particularly popular aesthetic with lush foliage and depicting a naturalistic "garden" scene.
On the Design:
The tapestry is executed in a particularly celebrated Flemish style of the 17th century, characterized by its intricate detail, naturalistic rendering of flora and fauna, and use of perspective. The design centers on a formal architectural setting with classical columns and arched elements creating a stage-like perspective for the central scene. Dominant floral motifs appear as two symmetrically balanced flowering trees flanking the composition, rendered with botanical precision in a controlled palette of indigo blue, cream, and selective gold accents.
The central pictorial elements include a precisely rendered heron or crane positioned prominently among human figures dressed in period attire, creating a narrative tableau typical of aristocratic decorative commissions.
Classically draped figures (reminiscent of Cherubs from Renaissance art) populate the tapestry's edges, contributing to the scene's harmonious balance. The weaving technique demonstrates exceptional technical skill in the graduated color blending (hachure) used to create dimensional modeling in the vegetation and architectural elements. The weaver's skilled hand has executed a vision of aristocratic leisure here, where every delicate petal and architectural detail speaks to the period's discerning taste, making this piece a rare testament to the enduring allure of Flemish weaving tradition.
Condition:
This Antique Flemish tapestry further enjoys good condition for its age and origin—intended for use in wall-hanging projects only.
