"Botanical illuminations" Black Tapestry

This elegant tapestry features botanical art based on authentic medieval manuscripts. Here wild berries and flowers are the perfect playground for busy butterflies, small snails, and curious dragonflies, that frolic among the spiraling leaves typical of scroll art. The colorful flowers are set against a modern black that suits any environment. This is an exclusive MedievalMade creation that took great effort, since we had to go through hundreds of illuminations and isolate the best elements, digitally restore them, and finally create an interlocking repeating pattern. The result really reflects our mission of a modern design inspired by history!

During the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, botanicals had both medicinal and symbolic use. For example, the pink roses present in this design were used in manuscripts to symbolize gentleness and admiration, while having practical purposes too; their hips (fruits) were used to make oils and jelly, good for skincare and also incorporated into foods.
Strawberries too had a symbolic meaning. Their three leaves were associated with the Holy Trinity, while medicinally, the strawberry was believed to fight inflammation. In this design you can also discover red carnations, blue irises, white lilies, and tricolor violas, all holding very special meanings.

You can hang this tapestry on a wall, but also use it as a cover for a chair or a sofa. Some people also like using these as curtains. Check the Related Products below if you prefer a blue background instead.
