Les Repas Champetre (The Country Feast) Tapestry
$2,995.00
SKU SS895
7'1" x 8'6" (215 x 260 cm)
Originally woven at the Tournai Workshops in Flanders at the end of the fifteenth century, this tapestry depicts richly-dressed country folk holding a banquet in a rustic landscape.
The scene is of country nobility partaking of a feast, and about to be joined by the lord and lady of the manor. Surrounding the scene are various peasants engaged in tending the sheep; one of whom is winding wool on a distaff, while another is providing a musical accompaniment on the bagpipes. The disproportion of the subject matter is an unmistakable distinguishing feature of tapestries of this period.
This style of this tapestry reflects a transitional period between the Mille-Fleurs tapestries of the fifteenth century and the landscape scenes of the Renaissance period.
Silk screened tapestries are also known as serigraphic tapestries. Each silk-screened tapestry is serigraphed onto irregularly woven fabric (wool, cotton or linen). Considerable labour is required with this process, including hand-painting to finish the details. Silk screen tapestries appear antiqued and aged giving them the look and feel of tapestries that hang in museums today. This tapestry is fully lined incorporating a rod pocket on the back for hanging with an exclusive Heirloom flush-to-wall hanging rod. Alternatively, this tapestry can be hung with a decorative pole of your choice.
