Capture of Lille Belgian Wall Tapestry

Crafted around Louis XIV capturing Lille with Turenne, this tapestry is woven in Belgium and fits a living room.

In August 1667, the city of Lille, France, was taken from the Spaniards by the French during the reign of King Louis XIV. It is the latter, accompanied by Turenne and Vauban, that is shown here. The work is part of a series of 14 tapestries on the "History of the King", woven later at the Gobelins Factory in Paris in the 17th century. This is a brand new reproduction tapestry.
