拍品資料及來源
There are several categories of mille-fleurs tapestries classified according to the manner in which the flowers are arranged. According to Guy Delmarcel and Erik Duverger, the more the flowers are compressed, the later in time the tapestries were made.
The identification of the loom mills remains difficult, but Bruges, Tournai, Enghien and Brussels produced some. We can compare this tapestry to a fragment kept at the château of Angers made in Flanders around 1510.
