This tapestry is inspired from an original dated 1888, by British artist Edmund Blair Leighton (1853-1922). Leighton is best known for his striking Pre-Raphaelite style paintings depicting medieval chivalry. In this striking scene, a nobleman from the Tudor-era and his bride are greeted as they leave the church by an excited knight in full armour bringing a summons to war. The groom wears a brocade doublet trimmed with fur, hose, a fur cap, and carries a dagger. The bride's gown is white satin with gold embroidery and trimmed with white fur. Across the street, people are leaning from the windows of the houses for a glimpse of the wedding party, and to watch the crowds of soldiers and townspeople who have gathered in the street below. This beautiful tapestry is woven on a jacquard loom by skilled weavers, keeping alive the centuries old tradition of tapestry manufacturing from generation to generation. This tapestry is fully lined incorporating a sleeve along the top for hanging with a Hines hanging rod. Alternatively, this tapestry can be hung with a wooden batten which is a concealed method of hanging.
