介绍（中）	这项工作属于一系列旨在覆盖整个房间墙壁的挂毯。这种套装在中世纪的库存中通常被称为"房间"（"chambres"）。这套可能是为法国国王查理七世制作的，他的颜色是白色、红色和绿色，其中一个标志是玫瑰树。皇室联系当然是可能的，因为挂毯很豪华，不仅在时尚的朝臣和女士们所穿的衣服和珠宝中都有金属线，而且在背景叶子、花蕾和开放的玫瑰中也有金属线。织工们从全尺寸的彩绘设计中工作，通过将交叉线（纬线）紧紧地固定到位（每根不同颜色的线分开）来制作这样的挂毯，直到所有未染色的纵向线（经线）都被隐藏起来。即使几个织布工并肩工作（通常的程序），并且一套挂毯同时在单独的织机上工作，他们的生产也需要几年时间。挂毯挂在城堡或庄园的墙壁上，不仅具有隔热的实际功能，防止潮湿进入房间，而且还构成了主人财富和品味的可见和便携式宣言。
介绍（英）	This work belongs to a series of tapestries designed to cover the walls of an entire room. Such sets were often referred to in medieval inventories as "rooms" ("chambres"). It is possible that this set was made for the French king Charles VII, whose colors were white, red, and green and one of whose emblems was the rose tree. A royal connection is certainly likely, for the tapestries are sumptuous, with metal threads not only in the clothing and jewelry worn by the fashionable courtiers and ladies, but also in the background leaves, buds, and open roses. Working from full-scale painted designs, the weavers produced tapestries like this by forcing the cross threads (weft) tightly into place—each different-colored thread separately—until all the undyed lengthwise threads (warp) were concealed. Even with several weavers working side by side—the usual procedure—and with the tapestries of a single set being worked simultaneously on separate looms, their production would have taken several years. Hung on the walls of a castle or manor house, tapestries not only served the practical function of insulation, preventing dampness from entering the room, but also constituted a visible and portable declaration of their owner's wealth and taste.
