Chambord II Castle Tapestry An Imposing Creation of Francis I (16th century) The counts of Blois, passionate hunters, built a fortified castle in this out-of–the-way corner of the Boulougne forest abounding in game, at a distance of four leagues from their capital. That building was razed by Francis I. In 1519 he began the current structure whose construction would be pursued with passion. This edifice can not be compared to any other construction of Francis I. With this castle, the king meant to celebrate not only the power of his kingdom but also of himself. 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)
