About the Item
This vibrant mid-century handwoven tapestry captures a charming folkloric scene of four schoolgirls dressed in traditional attire, brought to life through a radiant palette of autumnal hues—crimson, golden yellow, burnt orange, and soft lavender. Rich in texture and emotion, the tapestry exudes warmth, storytelling, and nostalgia, making it a captivating example of vintage textile art.
Reminiscent of Marc Chagall’s dreamlike murals at the Metropolitan Opera House, the composition masterfully balances expressive color with whimsical charm. Each figure is rendered with a poetic mix of abstraction and detail, lending the piece visual movement and emotional resonance.
This one-of-a-kind artisan wall hanging is a perfect statement piece for mid-century modern interiors, folk art collections, or textile art galleries. A rare fusion of craftsmanship, imagination, and vintage soul—ideal for collectors, designers, and those drawn to narrative art with a timeless feel.

Vintage Batik Fabric Painting Tribal Folk Wall Art
Located in Barrington, IL
Vintage Asian Batik hand painted fabric art. The beautiful batik is a depiction of a pair of Masai couples in traditional tribal clothing. The batik is a wonderful example of a hand painted wall art.
Batik is one of many methodologies of fabric art in a long and rich folk textile tradition around the world. It is a wax-resist type of dyeing operation where certain sections of a textile are pigmented while others are tied-off and shielded from coloring. Batik designs are created in various geometric motifs that have certain symbolism and convey status within society, but now too they use batik methods to achieve what in essence are paintings on fabric.
