An important LARGE Flemish tapestry 

16th-17th century

Old Testament subject of King Solomon, standing before his tent in armour and receiving a gift of two peacocks, from an old merchant who kneels before him, behind this figure is a squire with a falcon on his wrist, also wearing a hoop upon which other birds are perched, a young boy and two ‘aides-de-camp’ stand behind the King, while in the background are horsemen following sporting pursuits, the exceptional border showing friezes symbolising the earth, water and fire.

Provenance
Private collection UK

Purchased at an auction of Rippon Boswell on 13

October 1973, subsequently restored by Fiona Hutton & Frances Lennard.

A comparable can be found in the Rijksmuseum -‘ God’s Covenant with Noah’ the cartoon for this tapestry was part of a set from Wawel Castle. This set was made for Margaret of Parma – her coat of arms can be seen in one of the top corners. It is worth noting that the weavers involved – the Pannemakers, were one of the most prominent workshops in the 16th century.
