Description
Imagine the rolling hills of 15th-century Burgundy during the height of the autumn harvest. The true heart of this scene belongs to the villagers. Men and women in period dress labor among the vines, carefully gathering the season’s bounty into woven baskets—a celebration of everyday life captured forever in thread.
This design is a detailed recreation of the right half of the celebrated Vendanges tapestry. The figures are set against a breathtaking mille-fleurs (thousand flowers) background, a style inspired by the ancient custom of strewing cut flowers across the ground on festival days. Originally woven on vertical high-warp looms at Les Ateliers de France, this masterpiece found its way into the Cluny Museum through the bequest of Madame Edmond Dollfuss in 1930.
Woven from 100% premium cotton, this blanket honors the tradition of the original weavers. The interlocking threads provide a heavy, tactile feel and a visual depth that brings this historic vineyard to life in your own home. Artisan Highlights:
Museum Quality Art: A faithful interpretation of a 15th-century masterpiece currently housed in Paris.
