Tapestry / 12585

This Tapestry presents an expansive figural tableau in wool, its neutral, brown, cream and white tones muted to a soft, age-worn harmony. Architectural turrets, processional figures and flowering ground form a layered composition edged with a narrow border and restrained red trim. Wear is low; the surface shows gentle abrasion and a mellowed palette that emphasises painterly detail. Circa 1550 - 1700. This antique rug, 320 x 274 cm, carries the tactility of historic European tapestry weaving and a quiet, museum-like presence that rewards close inspection. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
