Flemish tapestry weaving was introduced to Norway in the 16thC and quickly became popular enough for a weaving industry to develop in Gudbrandsdalen, on the west coast in the Voss/Sogn region, Valdres, Telemark and Sør Trøndelag. Gudbrandsdalen situated as it was along the major internal route of commerce, became the center of tapestry weaving. Both through stylistic influence and in sheer volume of weaving.

This type of tapestry would as a rule be used as a bed cover. They might later be used as wall hangings. These tapestries differ in choice of subjects, size, use and color from the large imported tapestries from Belgium and France.
