Life's Rich Tapestry is an exclusive wearable artwork from The Met x CAMILLA collection, inspired by an ornate 17th-century French armorial tapestry in The Met collection. Our in-house artisans digitally expanded upon the original tapestry bearing the arms of the Swiss Greder family, adding florals from the central panels to create an elongated version of the original composition.

“Stepping into the Henry R. Kravis Wing, I’m surrounded by stories stitched in tapestry: richly coloured threads weaving myth and history. These are not relics, but resonances—odes crafted slowly, with the utmost care. My eyes linger on this tapestry’s decadent florals and gilded crests against a cloud-dusted sky, while luminous armour and swans in flight spin tales of triumph.”
