Tapestry / 10149

A refined Tapestry in wool, this pastoral panel measures 8' 0" x 10' 4". A painterly landscape of mature trees, a winding river and foreground plants is rendered in layered blues, cream and white with a continuous rose border enclosing the scene. The hand-tooled feeling of the wool remains tactile; abrasion is minimal and the surface keeps a soft, low pile that reads like worn velvet. The composition balances botanical detail with broad painterly passages, giving the piece a quietly architectural presence. This antique rug carries a calm, collected patina and intact borders that frame its narrative. Circa 1890 - 1910
