Antique Japanese Tapestry with Scenic Landscape Design - Rug & Kilim

Located in Long Island City, NY

Handwoven in natural silk, this 3x5 antique tapestry is a refined example of pictorial textile art, embodying the delicate craftsmanship and serene aesthetic long celebrated in Japanese decorative traditions. Its composition reflects a painterly sensibility rarely achieved in woven form, making it a collectible piece of both artistic and cultural significance. On the Design: This tapestry presents a tranquil pastoral landscape rendered in a soft, harmonious palette of warm beige, taupe, and muted earth tones. A gently winding river leads the eye through the composition, bordered by rustic dwellings, slender trees, and softly rolling terrain that evoke a quiet countryside scene. The artistry lies in its subtlety, fine silk threads are used to create tonal variation and depth, mimicking the fluidity of brushwork seen in traditional Japanese painting. Architectural elements such as thatched-roof houses and wooden fencing are depicted with understated precision, while the surrounding foliage appears almost atmospheric, dissolving softly into the background. A contrasting outer border in deeper, wood-toned hues frames the scene, grounding the composition and enhancing its sense of balance. Admirers will note the emphasis on negative space and asymmetry, hallmarks of Japanese design, allowing the viewer to engage with the calm, contemplative rhythm of the piece. Conditions: This antique Japanese tapestry...

Antique Ivory French Aubusson Rug. Size: 10 ft x 13 ft 6 in

Antique Ivory French Aubusson Rug. Size: 10 ft x 13 ft 6 in

Located in New York, NY

Stunning antique French Aubusson rug, country of origin: France, date circa 1900 - Size: 10 ft x 13 ft 6 in (3.05 m x 4.11 m). This delicate French Aubusson rug has a dreamy, romantic feel. It was created around the turn of the 20th century. Even though it is over 100 years old, it is the perfect piece for several contemporary design trends. This piece is recognizably an Aubusson that uses softer pinks and pastels, which is a hallmark of Aubusson works. This carpet is a finely woven tapestry. It has a backing to protect it from wear. The design has a Rococo feel with its sweeping curves, scrollwork, and trompe l’oeil floral patterns. Curvy, natural forms are a characteristic of late Baroque and Victorian design. This carpet would be perfectly at home in a formal room with gilding, elegant antique furniture, and brocades throughout. It has a classic feel that is refined and elegant. It also has an aged look that gives it a shabby chic feel, too. Romance pink and millennial pink are among the most popular color trends...
