• A FLEMISH BAROQUE VERDURE GAME PARK
  A FLEMISH BAROQUE VERDURE GAME PARK TAPESTRY PANEL, 17T...A FLEMISH BAROQUE VERDURE GAME PARK TAPESTRY PANEL, 17TH/18TH CENTURY, centering a long legged bird foraging amidst exotic blossoming foliage before a grand hillside stone fountain, beneath the branches of tall flowering trees revealing a crested flying bird and distant hilltop structures, woven in silk and wool within later burgundy ground trim and brown border. Height: 85 1/2" Width: 68 1/2" Condition: Good condition for Verdure tapestries of this age and use including but not limited to expected small tears, repairs, rewoven areas and splits between sections from aging and gravity. This panel is probably a fragment reduced in size from a larger tapestry and is lacking the frame style woven border. That being said it is of a perfect size and subject matter for modern living and focuses attention on the birds and garden without the distracting frame border. It has been professionally cleaned and restored in the not too distant past. Colors are good but faded due to normal aging and environmental exposure of materials. Simpson Galleries strongly encourages in-person inspection of items by the bidder.
