According to this site and judging by the ladies' clothes and background, the tapestries were probably made around the end of the 15th century, possibly to commemorate Jean le Viste's promotion in Court in 1489. The le Viste coat of arms appear throughout. Please read on:

From art history books, they were woven around 1500, presumed to be from the workshops in Flanders and are in the medieval style of mille fleurs, a "thousand flowers." The tapestries represent the six senses — Hearing, Sight, Touch, Smell, Taste, and Love.

According to the Musee de Cluny (in Paris), where the tapestries reside, they were woven, most likely in Tournai, about 1460.
