Grande Bouquet Flamand

The Flemish Bouquet, also known as Grande Bouquet Flamand, is a very fine wool and cotton French tapestry with full bouquet of flowers sitting on a table in a country setting. The colourful arrangement uses a variety of warm summer tones that compliment the wine colored vase. In the background we see trees and other landscape elements, their darker hues helping to create depth and bring the floral arrangement alive in the foreground.

French tapestries

The intensity of the colours, and the contrast between the foreground and background elements, are captured well by the weave of such fine quality French tapestries. The vibrant nature of the piece, combined with the depth achieved by this high quality weaving, makes for a visually arresting work of art that would look impressive in many different settings.

This magnificent tapestry is woven in France in a fine 50% wool and 50% cotton weave which gives fullness and depth yet has fine detailing. It is lined and has a tunnel for ease of hanging. We enclose hanging suggestions with every order.
