Tapestry / 11845

A painterly Tapestry panel rendered in warm neutrals, brown and rose pinks, woven in wool and showing an intimate courtship scene among garden urns, trees and a raised stair. The composition reads like a pastoral painting, the figures softly modelled and set against an architectural backdrop. Surface abrasion and gentle fading have softened contrasts and heightened the clothlike quality of the weave. This antique rug retains a tactile, timeworn presence and a delicate palette that suggests age and use. Circa 1730 - 1750. Size: 4' 0" x 4' 3". The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
