Border fragments made into four-fold screen. unknown c. 1625-1675 Tapestry Dimensions: H 8' x W 10' Tapestry Materials/Techniques: unknown Culture: Flemish Weaving Center: Brussels Ownership History: French & Co. purchased from M. Bartos 7/10/1914. (L & R panels) eagle plinths supporting naked boys holding flowers & fruit [left panel holds vase with flowers & fruit]; (2 central panels) grotesques on columns with flowers, fruit & large parrots 4 sections of 2 side borders from 2 or more tapestries mounted on 4-fold screen. Also make comparison of the photographs before and after assembly of the screen (Cavallo). Stock sheet 2776 corresponds to screen; however stock sheet 3532 refers to a set of chairs. It is possible that any left over pieces of tapestry from 2776 were used to cover the chairs for 3532 [?]. Because this screen is made-up of borders, the chairs could have been made-up of the central field of the tapestry. Also, GCPA 0236294 shows all 4 panels before they were cut down & mounted in screen, as seen in GCPA 0236295. Notice on GCPA 0236294 that the flowers & large parrots above the boys have been cut & become the 2 central portions of the screen (Dimitrova).
