The Accolade Tapestry: Honoring the Tradition of Knighting 53H x 42W

This stunning tapestry, The Accolade, depicts a pivotal moment in medieval chivalry: the ceremonial knighting of a noble warrior by a fair maiden. The knight kneels reverently before her as she gently taps his shoulder with her sword—a symbolic act known as the accolade. This ritual, steeped in tradition, represented a transformation, elevating a squire to the rank of knight.

The ceremony was more than a personal honor; it was a public declaration of a knight’s dedication to the chivalric code, including bravery, loyalty, and service to others. The sword tap signified the knight’s acceptance of these virtues and his readiness to defend justice and the realm.

This tapestry not only captures the romance and grandeur of the Middle Ages but also serves as a unique and functional piece of textile art. Its detailed weaving draws viewers into the depth and texture of the scene while enhancing the acoustics of your home or office.

Woven on jacquard looms in the time-honored tradition of European tapestries, this piece mirrors the quality of European imports while being proudly made in the USA. With vibrant colors and authentic texture, this tapestry is both a tribute to the artistry of the past and a timeless addition to your space.
