Tapestry / 10155

This Tapestry is a figural wool panel, 193 x 282 cm, depicting a seated couple and attendant within a pastoral vista, set inside a floral scroll border. The colourway is restrained: cream, white, neutral and warm brown; the surface shows medium distress with abrash, abrasion and softened detail that lend a mellow patina. The piece reads as a tactile antique rug, its painterly composition and worn fibre offering layered depth. Visible edge wear and sympathetic repairs attest to its passage through time while retaining narrative clarity. Circa 1800 - 1820
