Tapestry / 10186

This Tapestry in wool is a soft, pictorial panel that reads like a faded pastoral painting. In a palette of cream, beige and warm browns the courting figures, dappled tree and distant meadow are rendered with painterly washes and gentle abrash. High surface wear has softened the imagery and introduced a warm patina that defines the antique rug’s quiet presence. The composition remains legible even as edges and fields show thinning. Circa 1880 - 1895. Measurements 2' 0" x 4' 0" attest to its intimate scale and tactile, fibre-rich surface.
