Machine-Made / 11051

This Machine-Made wool piece reads like a woven tapestry of birds and blossoms across an expansive field. The repeating avian motifs and scrolling floral sprays sit against a warm neutral and brown ground, tempered by cream highlights and a dark floral border. Surface wear and soft abrasion lend a lived-in patina to the weave while preserving the clarity of the pattern. Sized at 12' 8" x 23' 9", the scale and disciplined repeat speak to 20th-century industrial craft and design sensibility. Circa 1970 - 1995. An antique rug sensibility is present in the layered colour and timeworn surface.
