Antique Square Tapestry Small Scatter Size Wool Green, Circa Date: 1700s. This exceptional piece is a rare example of 18th-century weaving, rendered in the delicate tapestry technique. Its compact, small square scatter size format suggests it was likely intended for intimate settings or as a cushion cover, making it a highly desirable collector's item among antique rugs. Woven entirely in wool, the composition features a remarkably preserved palette dominated by soft blues, deep reds, and natural tans, subtly hinting at the presence of green color rugs despite the age-related fading. The fine weave structure speaks to the high quality of the European workshop that produced this diminutive textile. The central field displays a highly detailed, symmetrical floral design featuring overflowing cornucopias of fruit and stylized foliage.
