Hand knotted with naturally luminous silk originating from Italy between 1860-1870, this antique tapestry features a one-sided field design, with versatility as a rug and a number of fine elements denoting italian art nouveau and painterly influences in its design. The eccentric marriage of soft, brushstrokes-like weaving with distinct green, carnation pink, red, and blue colorways against this beige background creates a very cultured, serene mood whether underfoot or on the wall as a hanging piece.
