This is a stunning vintage French tapestry wall hanging dating from the mid 20th Century. It is full of medieval  imagery and is woven in amazing detail. It would add a fabulous château chic finishing touch and would look superb in a country house home.

The colours are rich shades of green, brown & ochre with highlights of red, pink & blue in the costumes.

The reverse of the tapestry is lined. There are tabs at the top for hanging on a pole.

The tapestry is in good vintage condition and measures :- 120 cm (3 ft 11.25 inches) wide x 91 cm (2 ft 11.75 inches) high not including the tabs. The tabs are 7.5 cm (2.9 inches) high.
