Tapestry Machine-Made / 10219

A Tapestry Machine-Made in wool, 267 x 196 cm, that reads as a painterly figural tableau. Ladies, musicians and classical follies sit beneath broad trees; the colourway of cream, white and neutral with subtle blue accents keeps the composition calm and considered. Medium, even wear and gentle abrash have softened the imagery into a tactile, timeworn surface, while machine-made craft retains the scene’s narrative clarity. The piece functions as an antique rug with the visual weight of a woven tapestry, its tonal restraint and surface texture making the pictorial details quietly present. Circa 1930 - 1960
