Tapestry / 12583

This Tapestry is a compact pastoral panel woven in wool with a soft, painterly palette. Brushlike foliage and layered trees form a sheltered clearing that reads like a landscape study rendered in textile. The surface shows gentle abrash and even fading that emphasize the tapestry's age and tactility; the borders are plain and quietly supportive of the central scene. A measured, tactile antique rug, the piece retains a calm, collected presence at 3' 0" x 3' 8" while displaying careful vegetal detail and warm brown accents. Circa 1885 - 1900.
