La Cour tapestry

La Cour tapestry is one half of a scene from medieval times, a jousting tournament seen on the A La Cour dur Roi tapestry. The other half of this matching pair is La Joute tapestry.

The first jousting tournament on record took place in 1066 and during the 11th to 15th centuries jousting became increasingly popular in Europe. This high quality French tapestry, woven in 95% cotton by Jules Pansu, is full of this detail and is lined with a rod pocket - we enclose a guide to hanging tapestries with your order.
