The "Aristoloches" or "large leaves" tapestries were in fashion in the middle of the XVI century. They were mostly woven in the highly praised mills of Audernarde, Frammont and Enghien in the Flanders. This particular one depicts tobacco leaves, which Columbus had brought back from his voyage and soon to be widely used in Europe. Can be ideally placed over a sofa, a fireplace, in a hallway or any wall requiring decor. This tapestry is imported from France. French tapestries are well known for their sophistication, vibrant colors and design. (*Rods and Tassels are not included in the quoted price)
