This large-scale tapestry, known as "Carpet with Landscapes", was woven in the Savonnerie Manufactory in France between 1668 and 1686. The tapestry features a central medallion with a decorative floral motif and two oval landscapes at either side, all framed by a richly ornamented border. This exemplifies the intricate craftsmanship and meticulous design that characterize Savonnerie tapestries, which were highly sought after by European aristocracy in the 17th century.
