Bayeux Tapestry Battle

Bayeux Tapestry Battle

The Bayeux Tapestry Battle scene shows the conclusive Battle of Hastings in 1066 as the Norman army of Duke William of Normandy battle the Saxons led by King Harold. Our most popular Bayeux Tapestry wall-hanging.

Today this medieval tapestry is woven in Belgium in 72% cotton, 19% trevira and 9% wool, a weave which is rich and full yet has fine tight detailing. This detail from the original is woven today in Belgium. It is fully lined with a rod pocket for easy hanging - we supply tapestry hanging suggestions with each order.

The Battle of Hastings

This tapestry captures something of the drama of the Battle of Hastings, aided by the weave using a thicker yarn which is tightly woven resulting in both richness and fine detailing. Our favourite Bayeux Tapestry tapestry (!).

John, in Port Orange, Florida wrote of this tapestry in a Google review: "I was surprised at the level of detail and the quality of my tapestry. It was well worth the money. I am so glad I bought this tapestry from The Tapestry House. I recommend buying from them and they will be my first stop when shopping for future tapestries."
