Tapestry / 11549

A pastoral wool tapestry rendered in muted blues, creams and neutrals, the scene shows figures gathered around a spinning wheel with chickens animated in the foreground and a softened landscape beyond. The composition retains pictorial clarity even as surface wear softens details; medium distress and gentle abrash read as age and use. As an antique rug, the painterly modelling and restrained palette suggest an eighteenth-century tapestry tradition. Circa 1850 - 1865. Measurements: 5' 10" x 6' 8". The tactile wool pile and faded pigments emphasize texture and time, offering a quietly narrative textile for a considered interior.
