Winemakers Tapestry
This striking medieval tapestry was woven in the 15th Century on a high-warp (vertical) loom. It originated from 'Les Ateliers de France', possibly from Burgundy, and was bequeathed by a Madame Edmond Dollfuss in 1930 to the Cluny Museum in Paris where it hangs today. The Noblewoman in the centre right is about to dip a flagon into the barrel of newly-made wine. The richly dressed couple on the left are inspecting the labours of the peasants whilst the lady tastes the first fruits of the vintage.
