A verdure tapestry, or simply verdure, is, in tapestry terminology, a hanging whose decoration is primarily vegetal (such as trees, foliage, etc.). Animals, common, exotic, or fantastical, may populate this scene: birds and forest animals. Hunting scenes, despite the significant presence of vegetation, do not fall under the category of verdure tapestries. Verdure tapestries were highly prized at the end of the Middle Ages and even into the 16th century. These verdure tapestries were woven in numerous workshops in Flanders, such as in the city of Oudenaarde in Belgium, and in Aubusson, France, home to the Royal Aubusson Manufactory, which produced some of the world's most famous tapestries.
