Tapestry / 10185

A restrained figural Tapestry worked in wool, the composition rendered in soft creams and warm browns across a pale neutral field. The scene of riders and horses is rendered with painterly shading and delicate colour accents that remain visible despite overall mellowing. A narrow dark border frames the weave; edges show inventory-appropriate fray and medium surface wear. The tactile ground reads quiet and antique. Circa 1860 - 1880. Measures 2' 0" x 2' 7". This small-scale antique rug reads like a fragment of decorative history, elegant in its restraint and honest in its wear.
