Rich in beautiful colours and intricately detailed scenes, it is printed onto a woven background fabric.  Considerable skill is required to complete the printing process including hand-painting to finish the details and achieve the antiqued look and feel of tapestries that hang in museums today.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWine was an extremely important drink in the Middle Ages: more wine was drunk than water because the latter was unreliable and a vector of disease. The vine is therefore a very present element in the landscape and can be found in the countryside as well as in the city. Everyone comes together in September and October to harvest and press the grapes. Moreover, it is almost always a scene of harvest or crushing that was chosen in the Middle Ages to illustrate the month of October in calendars, the pruning of the vines representing the month of March.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn beautiful vintage condition, with neutral coloured hessian fabric on the reverse and 6 small metal brackets ready to hang. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eNotes - \u003c\/b\u003eAll of our vintage pieces are in good working condition (unless noted otherwise) and show patina consistent with age, which adds to their beauty and character and is not considered a defect.
