Vintage Tapestry the Knight with the Arms of Jean de Daillon - Vintage Tapestry the Knight with the Arms of Jean de Daillon.

So much information is known about its origin that it is an especially remarkable record of Netherlandish manufacturing. There are no other surviving examples of 15th century Netherlandish tapestries representing a lone knight on horseback.
