Tapestry Machine-Made / 10219

A Tapestry Machine-Made in wool, 8' 9" x 6' 5", that reads like a painterly figural tableau. Figures, urns and classical follies are arranged beneath leafy canopies; a restrained palette of cream, white, neutral tones and measured blue accents gives the scene a calm, aged presence. Surface abrasion and even abrash register as medium wear across the field, softening outlines and lending a tactile, timeworn patina. The machine-made execution preserves pictorial detail while tonal restraint keeps the composition legible. This antique rug carries the feel of a collected textile, quietly narrative and materially immediate. Circa 1900 - 1920
