Unit price per
A finely woven 18th century Franco-Flemish verdure tapestry, featuring a bird perched within a lush flowering Baroque landscape. The composition is characteristic of verdure tapestries produced in the Franco-Flemish regions, where naturalistic scenery, foliage, and wildlife were favored over narrative or figural subjects.
The scene is richly animated with scrolling vegetation, flowering plants, and layered greenery, creating a sense of depth and movement. The bird, centrally positioned among the foliage, serves as a focal point and emblem of harmony and abundance—an enduring motif in Franco-Flemish decorative arts of the period.
Executed in a refined palette of greens, earth tones, and floral accents, the tapestry demonstrates the painterly quality and textural richness for which Franco-Flemish workshops were renowned. The generous vertical format lends strong architectural presence, making it ideal for display in a grand interior, stair hall, or above paneling.
