Floral tapestries

Since antiquity people have used flowers to help express their feelings, to observe rituals, or to enhance their surroundings. The important role enjoyed by flowers in many different cultures has made its way into art, both as a decorative element and as a central motif. The prominence of floral art is also reflected in tapestry wall hangings, and our many works demonstrate the elegance of a floral tapestry.

Our selection boasts an impressive array of variations on this theme and includes flower bouquets, garlands, wreaths, floral still life art and flower tapestries.

GERMANY AND ENGLAND

The competition between countries and courts to set up tapestry workshops became increasingly more intense. To obtain able workmen the new studios turned chiefly to the inexhaustible fount of Flanders. Jean van der Biest, who from 1605 to 1613 wove in Munich the History of Otto von Wittelsbach, the Seasons and the Months from designs by Pieter Candido, came from Brussels.

The names of a number of Flemish weavers [such as Philipp de Maecht] are found also at Mortlake in England, where in about 1620 the Crown established a workshop. In 1623 Charles I acquired seven of Raphael’s cartoons for the Acts of the Apostles. Fine copies were made at Mortlake with elegant new borders, probably designed by Francis Cleyn. The latter certainly designed the cartoons for the series of Hero and Leander and of the Royal Horses, which was repeated several times. Work stopped during the Civil War. When it restarted, there were great difficulties and in 1667 the works passed into private hands, only to close completely at the end of the century. The Mortlake weavers migrated to different workshops in Soho, Hatton Garden and other places where they continued their varied and interesting work. Holland, meanwhile, had been establishing tapestry workshops and had become an important centre of production, and in 1615 Karel van Mander II, already a designer for Spierinck, founded a new tapestry works at Delft
