Vintage Hand Woven Folkloric Tapestry of Horse Rider in Chagall-Inspired Design
Located in Barrington, IL
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.
