Antique Karl Gries Tapestry In Beige With Pictorial Hunting Scene - Rug & Kilim

$19,900
Free Shipping

Hand knotted in wool circa 1940-50, this 6x9 antique Karl Gries tapestry is an especially rare and exciting new curation from Rug & Kilim’s collection of European narrative textiles. On the Design: Dating to the 1940s, this piece exemplifies the refined pictorial weaving that distinguished German textile workshops during the mid-20th century, where traditional European hunting iconography achieved artistic expression through the tapestry technique. The central equestrian figure dominates the design, surrounded by hunting hounds and elaborate foliate borders. The central mounted hunter, positioned in three-quarter profile, wears period costume featuring a feathered cap with elaborate plume detailing and flowing robes that cascade dramatically around the horse's flanks. The equestrian pose captures dynamic movement—the horse rearing with forelegs elevated, mane flowing, demonstrating masterful understanding of equine anatomy and motion.The lower section teems with hunting hounds in various animated poses—some pursuing quarry, others in alert stance, their bodies rendered with anatomical precision that reveals individual breed characteristics. The elaborate border features dense foliate scrollwork with acanthus leaf motifs, grape clusters, and intertwined vine patterns. The upper section includes atmospheric landscape elements with stylized trees and clouded sky rendered through subtle tonal gradations. The monochromatic execution in warm sepia tones creates a unified visual field while allowing intricate linear details to register clearly—from costume embellishments and horse tack to individual leaf structures in the border.Condition: This antique Karl Gries tapestry further enjoys good condition for its age and origin and is a very special addition to important collections and spaces.

    One-of-a-Kind 7'11" X 13'4" Hand Knotted Area Rug

    Hand-knotted in fine quality wool, an antique 7'11" x 13'4" ode to the Tabriz Persian rug style originating circa 1920-1930. Presenting itself as a magnificent example of European weaving, the piece seems to be an English or Irish take of a rare 17th-century Persian Tabriz hunting pictorial. This thought-provoking, gracious scale spins a tale of grandeur both in imagination and make with a union of different designs. Supported by a subtle beige backdrop, the piece attracts attention with an orange-gray-hued medallion that perhaps forms a ground for birds to hover (signifying harmony and freedom). The field brims with action and movement with floral elements and pictorial representations of animals like bulls, horses, wolves, and dragons signifying power and strength—all within sharply defined cartouches with complementary floral patterns of graceful curvature. This impactful imagery is enveloped in a thick rust-toned red floral border with light blue, peach, and black punctuations for a visually arresting appeal. An exemplary collectible in pictorial theme, thriving in excellent condition for its age, well suited for drawing rooms, dining rooms, living rooms, ornate entertaining areas, classic Victorian offices and libraries, museums, and hotel lobbies to name a few. Connoisseurs may further note the sheer variety of birds within the medallion pattern further exemplifies the collectible, rare lineage of this European style as well as the finesse of this workshop in kind. The precise symmetry of these motifs reflected with the medallion and border promotes an ideal gravity for the centerpiece and statement projects.
