The tapestry depicts a serene woodland landscape with large leafy trees, lush vegetation, a stream or pond, and two elegant swans in the foreground. The composition has a charming pastoral and romantic character, with subtle architectural details visible in the distant landscape. It is surrounded by an elaborate floral border, featuring stylised flowers and foliage in harmonious shades of sage green, olive, blue, cream, beige and muted terracotta. The restrained, slightly faded palette gives the piece an authentic vintage patina and a particularly decorative appearance. The tapestry is beautifully woven with considerable attention to detail, especially in the foliage, trees and birds. Its substantial wool-and-cotton construction gives it a lovely texture and presence. See less
