Vintage

This tapestry was inspired by the original Vendanges wall hanging that was woven in Flanders around 1500 and is currently on display at the Cluny Museum in France. It is typical of the noble daily life theme found in the tapestries of the 15th c. The Lord and Lady are shown overseeing the grape harvest and the pressing of the grapes. Everyone, including the servants, wears the finest clothing and jewellery! This scene represents the two techniques of pressing known in the Middle Ages: pressing with the foot, where the peasant tramples the grain to crush it (a technique used for the not very important vines), and the press with screw which the peasants turn with a stick to crush the bunches and to extract the juice from them. The liquid is then collected in wooden barrels to be preserved. The tapestry is set against a "mille fleur" (thousand flower) background, a popular design feature in many tapestries of the middle ages. This tapestry is lined and has a tunnel for ease of hanging.
