This handwoven tapestry, likely made in the mid-to-late 20th century, features a pastoral landscape with a windmill, trees, and rolling hills in warm earth tones. The raised texture is a result of a “chain-stitch embroidery” or “crewelwork” technique rather than traditional European tapestry weaving, giving it a richly dimensional surface. While European tapestries typically use gobelin or jacquard weaving, this piece was likely crafted in India or Iran, where such embroidery techniques are more common. The ornate scrolling border and classic countryside motif still echo French Aubusson or Flemish influences, making it a striking decorative piece.
