Antique French Machine Made Tapestry Depicting a Medieval Scene in the Forest. – Very Good Antique Condition (one minor well done repair to bottom-see photo)– Lined – Circa 1900.
This small antique French machine made tapestry in all shades of greens, roses, reds, golds and browns depicts a man and two women in medieval clothing collecting, carding and spinning wool from the gentle looking lambs in a forest.  There are pomegranate trees, ferns, multiple flowers, and two birds.  This scene’s symbolism has many interpretations, depending upon which category is researched, but generally, it depicts purity. These are wonderful accessories used anywhere color is needed.
