Description

A reproduction of “Young Field Hare” by Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528).

Albrecht Dürer brought this splendid field hare to life on his canvas in 1502 with almost photographic detail and accuracy.  The varying  directions in which the hare’s fur lay, the delicate whiskers, the mottled shades of light and dark on the animal’s body, all done with almost scientific precision using only brushstrokes.  This wall tapestry interpretation, finished with a softly intricate border, conveys Dürer’s Hare exceptionally well.

Traditional Tapestries were established in 1991 by husband and wife team, Colin and Catherine.  Their workshops and office complex utilise a large converted barn nestling in the Cornish countryside. They are family business employing a local skilled workforce.

All of the tapestry panels and fabrics are imported direct from Master Flemish Weavers, who use modern electronic Jacquard looms utilizing the latest computer technology to create the finest high quality designs. Many designs are reproduced from ancient medieval tapestries, although several new creations are inspired from contemporary art forms. The unfinished tapestry panels are then sent to the UK where they are made into elegant wall tapestries, cushions and bags.
