Tournament of Chivalry between a Breton and a Bourbon knight. The medieval joust has its origins in the military tactics of heavy cavalry during the Middle Ages.
By the 14th century many members of the nobility, including Kings had taken up jousting to showcase their own courage, skill and talents.
The sport proved just as dangerous for a King as a knight. From the 15th century on, jousting became a sport without direct relevance to warfare.
This finely detailed Jacquard loom woven tapestry pictures two noble knights ready to joust. A perfect gift for anyone who is interested in the history of our country.
Key Features:
- Made in Britain
- Hand finished wall tapestry
Please Note:
Fabrics by their nature are flexible, during storage, humidity and temperature may occasionally affect their shape and also cause creasing. To help a tapestry hang better we recommend using a dry iron on a 'Cotton' setting. Lightly iron the tapestry from the centre towards the edges [on the face]. In very extreme cases the Tapestry can be stretched by pulling the panel gently by hand, diagonally.
