Tapestry / 11505

This Tapestry is a quiet, painterly scene worked in wool with a restrained neutral range and warm rose accents. The composition reads like a miniature landscape, figures and trees dissolving into a softened horizon; the surface shows even abrash and medium abrasion that gives the piece a mellow, timeworn glow. Textural variations and the frayed, characterful edges articulate hands-on age while the wool retains a tactile depth. Circa 1900 - 1920. This antique rug measures 11' 6" x 7' 3" and reads as both textile and tableau, an object of craft and weathered atmosphere.
