Antique 16th Century Pergola Tapestry with Vase of Flowers

About the Item

Antique pergola tapestry handwoven in wool and silk in Bruges, Belgium in the mid-16th Century. Pergola tapestries are typified by a harmony between garden views, open architecture and figures. A pergola is a shaded passage formed of columns and a leafy canopy. This tapestry depicts an ornate arcade framing a picturesque landscape, with a central floral still-life flanked by two dramatic statues, or caryatids in the rear and elaborate iconic columns in the foreground.
