Description from the seller
Figurative tapestry with an Eastern scene.
– 50s/60s
– with cornice
A refined European-produced figurative tapestry, dating from the 1950s–1960s, depicting a scene of Oriental-inspired nature with figures in traditional dress, ancient architectures, and pack animals, set in an urban context with an exotic and narrative flavor.
The composition, rich in detail and depth, recalls the nineteenth-century decorative tradition reinterpreted in postwar tastes, much appreciated in bourgeois furnishings and in the period's representative salons. The colors, warm and well harmonized, create a balanced and evocative overall impression, with a pleasant tactile quality to the fabric.
The tapestry is sold complete with its frame, period-appropriate and consistent with the era, which enhances its decorative impact and allows for immediate display. Its substantial proportions make it a furnishing element with a strong cinematic presence, ideal for classic, eclectic, or vintage interiors.
Good overall condition, with normal signs of wear compatible with the object's age. Fabric well preserved and colors still discernible. Frame intact, with a slight patina of time that confirms its authenticity.
