The manufacturing process used to produce these tapestries has remained basically the same for the last 200 years. These traditional tapestries are woven on jacquard mechanical looms in Flanders, the home of tapestry since medieval times. In May 1889, after episodes of self-mutilation and hospitalization, Vincent van Gogh chose to enter an asylum in Saint-Rémy, France. There, in the last year before his death, he created almost 130 paintings. Within the first week, he began Irises, working from nature in the asylum's garden.
All tapestries are supplied with a cotton lining and an integral sleeve for the hanging pole.
