Description from the seller
Large vintage Gobelin wall tapestry “Market at Ghent” – 242 x 125 cm – Belgium, 20th century
Large, detailed wall tapestry in the classic Gobelin style depicting a bustling late medieval market scene in Flemish Ghent.
The elaborately woven textile artwork stands out for its monumental size and vivid composition: in the foreground, merchants haggle over fine fabrics, carpets and earthenware, while in the background the impressive historic architecture of Ghent rises.
A special highlight is the upper border, which shows the city coat of arms of Ghent and two motto bands in old Gothic script bearing the historical names “Jehan” and “d'Artois.” An absolute eye-catcher with noble aura, ideal for lovers of historical decoration and classical tapestry art.
The rug is in very good condition and has been treated with care
