Mid-Century Folkloric Tapestry of Four Schoolgirls in Traditional Dress

This stunning vintage mid-century handwoven tapestry captures the dynamic energy of a folkloric rider performing acrobatics on a galloping horse. The rider, dressed in traditional costume, soars with movement and rhythm, embodying both grace and bold expression. Rendered in brilliant jewel-toned colors, the tapestry exudes the dreamlike and whimsical qualities often associated with Marc Chagall’s iconic murals at New York’s Metropolitan Opera House. The fluid motion, vivid palette, and magical subject matter all echo Chagall’s signature style, making this piece not just a textile, but a work of fine art. A truly unique artisan creation, this tapestry is perfect for collectors of mid-century modern design, folkloric art, or those seeking a statement piece that tells a story. It brings texture, warmth, and a rich narrative to any wall it adorns.

An exceptional example of 19th-century American textile artistry, this signed four-color Jacquard coverlet originates from Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, and is dated 1859. Featuring a striking palette of navy blue, red, ivory, and pale green, the piece is intricately woven with fine detail and craftsmanship. The coverlet is inscribed “Michael Umbarger, Middle Paxton Township Da. Co. 1859 Amos Killinger,” honoring both the recipient and the weaver — a common yet meaningful tradition made possible by the Jacquard loom, which allowed personalization through the intricate weaving process. Woven by hand, this textile exemplifies the popularity and artistry of American coverlets in the mid-1800s, prized both for their functional warmth and decorative value. Whether draped over a bed, displayed as a wall hanging, or styled in a heritage-rich interior, this coverlet brings a unique narrative and historic charm to any refined setting. Perfect for collectors, designers, and decorators seeking rare and storied textiles to elevate traditional or eclectic interiors.
