Item Description

Late 19th Century framed needlework tapestry scene based on the painting ‘Bolton Abbey in the Olden Time' by Sir Edwin Landseer, the original of which hangs in Chatsworth House, Devon. The tapestry is housed in an original wooden frame with gilt border.

This medieval tableau is set by the priory gatehouse at Bolton Abbey, West Riding, Yorkshire and shows an Augustinian abbot and monk receiving tribute of game. A forester with two dogs kneels beside a dead stag, swan, duck, grouse and partridge as a falconer's assistant carries a dead heron and bittern and a fisherman's daughter brings trout.
