Millefleur, millefleurs or mille-fleur (French mille-fleurs, literally "thousand flowers") refers to a composition with many different small flowers and plants in the background, usually against a green ground, as though growing in grass. It is primarily associated with European tapestry during the late Middle Ages and early Renaissance, from about 1400 to 1550, but mostly appears around 1480–1520.
