The lower register with a meandering stream and rocky outcrop, populated with flowering plants, grasses and a long-legged wading bird, probably a crane or heron, foraging at the water's edge. The whole within a border of meandering palmettes and stylised rosettes set against a buff ground, flanked by red-brown guard stripes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis dense, large-leaf type of verdure, sometimes termed a \"feuillage\" or \"bosket\" tapestry, was produced in considerable quantity across the southern Netherlands workshops in this period, with Enghien and Oudenaarde particularly associated with the type; a firm attribution would benefit from close inspection of the weave (warp count per centimetre) and any surviving selvedge or workshop marks on the reverse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Vault Sydney","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42276713922615,"sku":null,"price":13800.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2322\/8433\/files\/IMG_3022.jpg?v=1781780752","url":"https:\/\/thevaultsydney.com\/products\/late-17th-18th-century-flemish-verdure-tapestry","provider":"The Vault Sydney","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
