About the Item

Magnificent Antique Italian Tapestry Depicting Caesar Augustus, Country Of Origin: Italy, Circa Date: 1880’s. Size: 8 ft x 12 ft (2.44 m x 3.66 m) This breathtaking historical antique tapestry rug comes from Italy and depicts the iconic Caesar Augustus and cupids. The main colors of this antique tapestry are shades of gold paired with both other warm and cool colors, showing the influences of the classical inspiration as well as modern elegance. The main aesthetics of this tapestry draw on inspiration from classical periods of the Roman Empire. The main decorative elements in the tapestry are figurative, depicting Caesar Augustas as well as other figures. The attention to detail is stunning and highlights the amount of time and skill that would have been required to complete this antique tapestry. The figures themselves have immense attention to detail and give them a very elegant and eye catching appearance. The detail in the faces is a breathtaking example of the beauty that can be seen in this lovely tapestry. Within the bottom panel there are architectural elements as well, continuing the theme of classically inspired elements. Along with architectural and figurative elements, there are also some abstract elements within the background. These background additions are reminiscent of floral patterns as well as classical filigree. These add yet another layer of detail to an already beautiful tapestry. The historical significance of this antique Italian tapestry depicting Caesar Augustus is easy to see, as it is heavily inspired by classical Rome. Though the tapestry itself is from around 1880, these classical aesthetics give it a historic and timeless appearance. The timelessness of the tapestry adds a level of sophistication and elegance that is complimented by the warm golden colors.
