Tapestry / 10886

A finely worked wool Tapestry, 196 x 152 cm, the panel depicts a pastoral vista within a scrolling floral border. Neutral tones of beige, brown and gold sit against olive and teal accents, modelled with painterly transitions and subtle abrash. A heron punctuates the scene among layered tree canopies and carved foliage, while the field maintains a soft, luminous ground; condition shows low wear and intact edges. This antique rug retains a gentle, inherited patina and the composed restraint of a nineteenth-century scenic weaving. Circa 1865 - 1885 The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
