Description

A charming handwoven Egyptian folk tapestry, dating to the mid-20th century, depicting a lively village scene. Figures in brightly coloured traditional robes stand beneath stylised trees, with donkeys laden for travel — a vivid narrative of daily life captured in textile art.
The tapestry is woven in wool with a natural undyed ground, enhanced by bold reds, blues, greens, and ochres. The design reflects the distinctive naïve style associated with Egyptian village weaving, most famously produced at the Ramses Wissa Wassef Art Centre, where artisans created one-of-a-kind pictorial weavings blending folk tradition with modernist expression.Egyptian folk tapestries of this period are increasingly sought after for their originality, colour, and strong sense of narrative. Unlike commercial rugs, each piece was woven individually, with no two ever alike.Good condition overall, with strong colours and only minor signs of age. Edges remain intact and the textile is suitable for hanging display.
Size is 77 x 73 cm
