About the Item

A moving and intricately hand woven tapestry from the 19th Century from France. The scene depicts a tender family scene from the Ottoman Empire. This large vintage wall hanging captures the emotional moment of an elderly man seated in bed, extending a blessing over the gathered children and family members. The figures are dressed in richly detailed Ottoman attire, framed by theatrical drapery and warm interior tones. Woven in a wool and cotton blend, this textile artwork reflects the storytelling tradition of the region, with expressive gestures, layered colors, and remarkable composition. The warm palette of crimson, ochre, and faded golds adds a timeless softness, making the tapestry both visually captivating and emotionally resonant. Ideal for interiors inspired by French or Orientalism, classical Middle Eastern themes, or traditional family heritage, this piece brings depth and dignity to any space - whether in a living room, gallery, or boutique hotel setting.
