Mid-Century hand Knotted Tapestry of Galloping Horse in Earth Tones
Located in Barrington, IL
This stunning mid-century handwoven tapestry captures the dynamic energy of a galloping horse, rendered in vibrant earth-tone hues that shimmer with movement and life. A true piece of vintage textile art, the composition evokes the dreamlike, expressive style of Marc Chagall’s murals at the Metropolitan Opera House at Lincoln Center in New York.
The horse’s powerful form and the bold use of color bring a painterly quality to the weaving, blending fine craftsmanship with artistic imagination. The rich palette of browns, golds, ochre, and deep reds enhances the sense of motion, giving the tapestry an almost three-dimensional depth.
Perfect for collectors of mid-century modern décor, equestrian art, or lovers of Chagall-inspired aesthetics, this piece is not only a decorative statement—it’s a conversation starter and a rare example of artisan handwoven textile art from the mid-20th century.
Dimensions: 38" x 68"

A Multi-Tiered Carving of a Lotus Flower 46"
Located in Chicago, IL
The lotus flower has been a symbol of spiritual purity and enlightenment ever since the time of the Buddha. These wooden lotus flowers are meticulous reproductions of ceiling decorations found in Thai temples. In some temples, lotuses are painted directly on the ceiling. In other temples, they're elaborately carved, covered in gold and placed in the center of ceiling panels. Either way, their purpose is the same -to draw the eye of the worshiper toward heaven. . According to a Zen verse, “may we exist in muddy water with purity, like a lotus." The lotus grows out of the mud, rising upward to bloom in the sunlight, clean and perfect. These lotuses are hand-carved from wood and finished by artisans in Chiang Mai, Thailand, according to ancient designs. Shown here: a large multi-tiered lotus with an antique wood finish.

Vintage Moroccan Tapestry Rug in Magenta, Blue, Green, Gold in Abstract Design
Located in Barrington, IL
This vintage hand-crafted Moroccan tapestry rug is a striking example of abstract folk artistry, featuring an ultra-modern geometric composition in a vivid palette of magenta, blue, green, gold, red, pink, purple, and earthy browns. Woven by hand from a mix of recycled textiles, this mid-20th-century Boucherouite rug embodies the expressive spontaneity and color theory reminiscent of modernist painters like Josef Albers and Paul Klee.
Its improvisational style and bold asymmetry also echo the visual language of the iconic quilts of Gee’s Bend, Alabama—celebrated for their raw beauty and rhythmic, intuitive geometry. Whether used as a statement-making floor covering or mounted as an artful wall tapestry, this Moroccan rug is a versatile and powerful design element ideal for contemporary, eclectic, or bohemian interiors.

Pair of Framed Chinese Ancestor Portraits, circa 1880s
Located in Chicago, IL
Believing that the departed continue to hold influence over the lives of the living, many Chinese households honor their ancestors in private family rituals, invoking their spirits for long life, health, and prosperity. Commemorative portraits, which came into vogue in the late Ming and Qing dynasties, were commissioned specifically for ancestor worship and were believed to house the spirits of the deceased. When properly cared for, one's ancestors were believed to be a powerful source of honor, protection, and good luck.
This pair of ancestor portraits was hand-painted in the late-19th century and beautifully depicts a Qing-dynasty couple. While some ancestral portraits offer a more stylized representation of one's ancestors, this particular pair is painted with incredible realism and life-like expressions. Rather than depict the pair in a regal hall wearing elaborate finery, the couple is shown in a quiet home environment, seated at either end of a square tea table. Their surroundings are minimal, practically undecorated, and they wear simple, matching blue silk robes. Two young children stand beside them, each trying to capture the attention of their grandparent. We love the painting's close attention to detail and the glimpse it offers of Qing-dynasty interiors - from the carved apron of the marble-top table to the red silk lotus slippers...
