Tapestry / 12583

This Tapestry is a wool scenic panel, characterised by painterly foliage and a sheltered woodland vista. The composition favours layered leaves and tree trunks, rendered in soft teal, cream and tan tones that suggest an artist's study translated into weave. The surface has a uniform, mellow abrash and modest edge wear that read as part of its material history; the narrow border frames without distraction. As an antique rug, it offers an intimate study in colour and texture at 91 x 112 cm, a quietly domestic piece with a considered, timeworn patina. Circa 1885 - 1900.
