In keeping with tradition, this magnificent tapestry has undergone thorough cleaning and meticulous inspection by our experts in our workshop. It is now ready to adorn your home. A verdure tapestry, or simply verdure, is, in tapestry terminology, a hanging whose decoration is primarily plant life (such as trees, foliage, etc.). Animals, common, exotic, or fantastical, may populate this scene: birds and forest creatures. Hunting scenes, despite the significant presence of vegetation, are not considered verdure tapestries. Verdure tapestries were highly prized at the end of the Middle Ages and into the 16th century. Verdure tapestries were woven in numerous workshops in Flanders, such as in the city of Oudenaarde in Belgium, or in Aubusson in France, home to the Royal Aubusson Manufactory, which produced some of the world's most famous tapestries.
