A Brussels historical tapestry, attributed to Martin Reymbouts, late 16th century. From the Story of Scipio series, the renowned Roman general, victorious after the Punic War, with king and queen enthroned and surrounded by soldiers, people kneeling in deference on the left, an old man upholding a scripture before them, and another displaying gold and silver at their feet. Enclosed within an elaborate border of Game Park scenes, birds, the Gods of Olympus, and allegorical figures. Wool with silk inlay. Measures: 11’4” H x 12’8” W.
Hanging: The tapestry comes ready for hanging, with linen backing and a strip of hook and loop tape at the top end, which can be connected to the opposite side of the supplied hook and loop tape, which could be tacked to your wall. For those who prefer the use of a tapestry rod, we can add the appropriate size loops to accommodate your needs. We now have a large selection of antique tapestry rods available as well, which we can provide detail upon request.
