Early 17th c. Flemish Tapestry

An early 17th century Flemish handwoven tapestry featuring a richly detailed woodland scene framed by an intricate floral border, rendered in deep greens, muted ochres, and soft ivory tones. The vertical composition draws the eye upward through layered foliage and tree forms, set against a darker ground, while the surrounding border is densely patterned with scrolling botanicals. Woven in wool with subtle variation in tone and texture, this type of tapestry would have taken months—often years—to complete, frequently with multiple weavers working simultaneously on a single loom. Pieces like this were commissioned for and hung in the homes of the wealthy, valued not only for their artistry but also for their role in insulating large interiors. The surface shows gentle, even wear consistent with age, adding depth without distracting from the overall composition. A striking piece with strong scale and presence, ideal as a statement wall hanging.

Approximate dimensions (edges will vary): 40" x 107.25"

Please note it is common for tapestries of this age to have small areas of loose threads and tears/separation.
