Note:
The architectural motif of this tapestry border enables dating to the second quarter of the 17th century. In Flemish tapestry, such a portico with articulated columns is most famously found in the Brussels series Triomphe de l’Eucharistie, made after Peter Paul Rubens’s models and produced in the years 1625-1628.
Professionally conserved with some areas rewoven or with sewn repairs. Sections throughout where seams have separated. Scattered instances of fraying. Colors are faded and yellowed. Later backed with linen and with Velcro along the top edge for hanging. Additional images available upon request.
