This type of tapestry, called entre fenêtre, was originally placed in the space between one window and the other, in our case in particular they are two mirror-like pendants, recognizable in particular in the diagonal development of the central rose festoon.
Our group is close to the famous verdures, that is tapestries characterized by a great variety and richness of vegetation.
