Enigmatic 15th-century tapestry displayed after four-year clean

Public can see tapestry with mysterious past at Montacute House in Somerset after 1,300 hours of conservation work

A 15th-century tapestry with a mysterious history, the oldest owned by the National Trust, is returning to display after experts spent four years cleaning and conserving it.

The tapestry at Montacute House in Somerset depicts a knight in armour parading his elegantly decorated horse against a dark blue background covered with a highly detailed flower pattern, called millefleurs, or a thousand flowers.
