Tapestry / 13545

This tapestry antique rug measures 175 x 188 cm and carries a pastoral scene worked in wool, with a border of flowers and foliage softened by time. Cream, white, blush, muted blue, sage and gold tones shape the figurative composition, where children, trees and a small house create a lively yet tender visual cadence. The open ground lends lightness to the design, while medium wear, faded colour and age marks contribute a calm, well-held surface. Circa 1880 - 1900, it reflects the decorative storytelling and softened palette often found in an antique rug of this period.
