Tapestry / 12582

A pictorial wool tapestry depicting a standing woman in a flowing blue gown, framed by a stylised floral border in warm neutrals, brown and gold. The painted illusion of the central panel retains delicate modelling and a softly muted palette developed through age. Surface wear and gentle abrash have softened some details, lending a lived, tactile presence to the textile. This small-scale antique rug is an exercise in painterly weaving and decorative composition, offered in-house and ready to be appreciated for its material warmth and quiet colour. Circa 1890 - 1910. Measurements: 3' 8" x 4' 9".
