18th Century Dutch Tapestry, Possibly Audenaarde, 157 x 263cm / 5'3" x 8'6" 11' x 14' where things further away appear

where things further away appear lighter in colour

The beautiful sky blue main border and tomato red field with an allover design in a squarish size

This lovely antique Heriz has the drawing and design of a Ziegler Mahal but from the weave you can see it is definitely of the former

The older Shirvan rugs have this incredible range of colours

What a joy

18th Century Dutch Tapestry, Possibly Audenaarde, 157 x 263cm / 5'3" x 8'6" 11' x 14' where things further away appearI love the subject matter here, a young boy running through a verdant landscape, the string in his hand connected to a kite and his beautifully drawn face looking up. It's very unusual and Ido not recall seeing anything similar before. The colours are fresh, even vibrant especially around the clothing of the seated man, the crimson red stands out as does the pinkness of the boys knees. A wonderful scene, will bring decor and levity.
