Meuble De Béguinage, Provenance Couvent Des Ursulines Valenciennes
Artist: Ebéniste Nord-flandres
Rare and Interesting Small Beguinage Furniture
Characteristic of Flanders: the beguines, who formed autonomous communities in buildings
built around a tree-lined courtyard, led a life of devout but active penance in workshops and infirmaries.
If it suited them to be modest, they were not to live poorly.
The austere furnishings of the beguinages thus present a quality, a sobriety and a rigor in the image of demanding
forms of devotion.
