Description
A mounted military commander leads troops across a verdant landscape in this 18th-century tapestry depicting the Capture of Lille, with a fortified city rising in the distance beneath stormy skies. Ornate floral borders in deep reds and golds frame the central scene, while hand-colored engraving techniques render the figures and architecture in warm ochres, greens, and pale blues. Crafted from bamboo and made to order, with a drilled hole so it hangs on the wall as easily as it works on the counter. A kitchen essential carrying an independent artist's work, not a blank block from the big-box aisle.
