Tapestry / 12582

A pictorial wool tapestry with a central female figure in a draped gown, set within a floral border in warm neutral, brown and gold tones. The painted-like composition reads with a soft, aged patina; the field shows even abrash and surface softening that enrich the textile’s tactility. Edges show wear and the overall character is that of a well-handled antique rug whose pictorial centre and decorative margins retain pleasing colour harmony. Circa 1900 - 1920. Measurements: 112 x 145 cm. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
