Description :

Client purchased this tapestry from another collector several years ago who told her the tapestry belonged to her parents and was from Antwerp, Belgium, circa 1830. The Belgians have been known to produce the high quality tapestries for hundreds of years, so that probably explains why this piece is in such terrific condition for its age if the previous owner dated it accurately (and the fact that its owners were fastidious about caring for it).

The tapestry is in neutral colors - they may have been more brilliant when first woven, but today they are subtle and muted. The scene is one of a typical landscape in the Lowlands (today's Belgium & the Netherlands). Windmills, fishers, sailboats, and ever-present water dominate the landscape. Wonderful detail with no noticeable flaws. Mounted on wood backing - appears to have been laid on the wood and then the frame attached on top to "sandwich" the tapestry - as far as we can tell, it is not glued to the board. Frame is tired - a new frame would probably show this piece in a whole new light.  #belgiantapestry #belgiumfabric #antiquetapestry

Measures 26" H x 70.5" W framed.
