In the series of the cities, we know the famous chancellery of the city of Vannes (preserved today in the museum of Vannes). We find the same sowing of flowers of lily very characteristic of these chancelleries which are historically offered by the king to the cities. These two tapestries come from the Manufactures of Aubusson, recognizable by the choice of the wool as main material of weaving.
