About the Item

This rare coat of arms tapestry, which was hand-woven circa 1650, originated in the lands that would eventually become Belgium. The beautiful and vibrant tapestry would have been commissioned by a Spanish nobleman, most likely Antonio Carnero Trogner. In the center of the tapestry is a rural village surrounded by a verdant forest beneath a blue sky filled with white clouds and a swag of bows. A large coat of arms surmounts the tranquil pastoral scene, infusing the tapestry with vivid red and blue hues. The red shield is emblazoned with two rams on opposing sizes of a bend dexter of blue and cream with three fleur de lys charges. Behind the heraldic display is a red cruciform, known as the Cross of Saint James, which is the insignia of the Order of Santiago, a Spanish religious and military order formed in the 12th century. Further research indicates that the coat of arms belongs to the Trogner Family, specifically the Carnero branch. Carnero is Spanish for ram, and there are a few rams seen roaming the fields of the village, in addition to the two depicted on the shield. Beyond the aforementioned imagery is a thick gold boundary adorned with rinceaux and large blue, green, red, gold, and brown flowers, surrounded by a thin border of tan. During the 16th and 17th centuries, Spain controlled much of what would eventually become Belgium. Antonio Carnero Trogner was born in 1568 in Brussels to a family that had already become well-entrenched in Belgium. Antonio would become valet to King Philip IV of Spain in 1626, later assuming a second and as important title of Secretary to the Count-Duke of Olivares, one of King Philip’s valids. In 1636, Antonio was knighted by the Order of Santiago, offering validation of his noble bloodline. Our Trogner family tapestry would make a wonderful addition to any wall while offering a bit of history.

Tall 17th C. Wool and Silk Tapestry with Colorful Cartouche and Trophy Decor
Located in Dallas, TX
Produced during the Louis XIV period, in the 1600’s, this colorful cartouche and trophy décor tapestry was hand-woven using wool and silk. Originally part of a much larger wall covering, the fragment has been placed over a linen backing and a navy-blue border now surrounds the scene. The quality of the craftsmanship of the fragment is quite apparent. Vibrant gold, green and blue hues still shine brightly, which are offset by darker colors such as brown and deep red. If you look closely, you will see gradient colors being used to depict shadows and movement in clothing. The scene features a man with a walking stick in his hand talking to a woman standing behind a baluster railing. Both are clad in flowing garments, with the woman in blue and the man wearing a light pink tunic...
