This gorgeous tapestry known as “Bain” takes us back to a bygone period where gallant knights and their beautiful ladies led a life that was both full of danger and adventure as well as romance and luxurious pleasure.

“Bain” dates back to the 15th century, to the time of Louis XII and is exhibited in the Cluny Museum in Paris. This particular tapestry shows a noble lady bathing, attended by her ladies-in-waiting, even as she is entertained by music and song. It is a charming scene that captures the essence of the Middle Ages in Europe as we see it in our mind’s eye.

The colors of the tapestry are rich and vibrant with the bathing lady and her attendants showing up beautifully in red in the foreground, against a background of dark foliage which suggests a soothing communion with Nature.

“Bain” has been woven in Belgium and is 70% cotton. The tapestry measures 42 x 38 inches. It is backed with lining and tunnel for easy hanging. The tapestry is an enchanting slice of history that will make any wall interesting.
