The Forgotten Crowns Tapestry
4 × 6 feet
. . . . .
There was once a great queen
who wished to live hidden from the turmoil of the world.
For her heart was not a ruler’s heart,
and she longed for peace rather than power.
So the queen stepped down from her throne,
and crowned no successor.
She set forth that the earth would no longer belong to man,
but to the creatures that came before us.
As is with most tales that mark the turn of tides,
there were those who wanted what the queen once had.
A great battle was waged for power and dominion,
by those who would wish for no peace.
And so the once-great queen took up her sword
and led a legion of mighty warriors
to protect what they held dear.
They stood side by side, and pledged fealty to one another.
And when the war was fought, and the stones were set,
and the moon shone again on the tall noiseless grass;
the once-great queen laid down her sword and wealth
at the highest peak of the fell.
In the distance, a warm light in an unfamiliar window called her home.
In front of her, a well-worn path marked the years of will and wonder.
And the flowers and trees ruled the world once more,
while winged beasts of feathers and scales
cast shadows in the land beneath the hill.

This tapestry is a print of an original painting by Phoebe Stout. It was inspired by medieval castle tapestries, Scottish landscape paintings, and capricci - which were paintings that combined fantasy elements with recognizable architectural structures in dreamlike settings.
The original painting was done on antique hand-loomed hemp from France. You can see the seam of the original fabric panels running down the center of the painting. That detail was intentionally left in the print to honor the original cloth.
The lands depicted in this painting were created entirely from my imagination, as were the words in the story above. I hope that you get lost in the images that they conjure, and that they bring magic to ordinary days.
Printed in the United States on 6.4 oz linen/cotton canvas.
The edges of each tapestry are cut and frayed by hand, giving these a lovely texture and feel of an old textile that might have been pulled out of a dusty trunk, long forgotten in the eaves of a castle.
Each tapestry comes with eight antique-brass finish tacks to use for hanging. (4 large and 4 small)
Edges of each print have been brushed with fray stop to prevent any further fraying in case you’d like to wash your tapestry.
Care instructions : Hand wash in cool water with mild detergent. Hang to dry or tumble dry on low setting. Iron on linen setting.
Tapestry will be folded for shipping. To remove creases, I suggest steaming or lightly spraying map with water and then either iron, or put in the dryer for a few minutes.
This is the full-scale tapestry, which means it is the actual size of the original painting. It is approximately 4 × 6 feet.
