A woven, fringed tapestry of a pastoral scene in muted organic colors. Finished with a cotton or linen backing and floral ribbon for the edging and hanging loops. Fringe is weighty and twisted back onto itself in 4” lengths. The scene depicts trees and flowers framing a rolling countryside with a bridge and stream, featuring a fence, and various pieces of architecture in the background including a two-story villa with traditional Tuscan second story entry stair, a remnant of an arched aqueduct and a cottage with a rooftop pergola. And a squirrel. The piece is in very good condition for it’s age, with very minor blemishes, such as a darkened path mark that runs horizontally about 2’ from the top edge and a few small tears in the backing. This tapestry hung in the home of my great grandparents in the 1930s. I don't know anything else about it, so I don't know if it's a real antique or not. I did find a census record of them (https://www.lfia.org/property/2008-n-oxford-avenue-90027/) which is fun; 14 year old Russell was my grandfather. I'm also including a photo of the house from that time which is charming as hell.
6' wide, 63" tall, not including 4" of fringe at the bottom and 2" loops at the top
