A large 17th century Flemish wall tapestry with bright floral borders depicting a biblical scene, circa 1680

Flemish tapestries are intricately woven textiles that flourished in Belgium, particularly in cities like Bruges, Brussels, and Tournai, from the late Middle Ages through the Renaissance. These masterpieces, crafted from wool, silk, and gold threads, depicted biblical stories, mythology, and courtly life. Commissioned by European nobility, they served as both decoration and insulation in castles and palaces.

Renowned for their vivid colours and fine detail, Flemish tapestries, such as those from the workshops of Pieter Coecke van Aelst, influenced textile art across Europe. Today, they remain treasured artifacts, displayed in museums and historic estates world wide.
