European Textile Folk Art | Embroidered & Applique Cotton & Wool

Europe, ca. late 19th to mid-20th century CE. A decorative textile window valance or door hanging formed from cotton and wool applique and embroidery. The front beige panel features repeating scalloped arches filled with stylized floral and foliate motifs worked in muted reds, blues, greens, and cream, outlined and emphasized with applied cord and stitched detailing that gives the surface a raised, dimensional quality. The textile is backed with a denim-blue cotton fabric, with the lower edge trimmed in twisted cord following the scalloped contour. While not attributable to a specific folk tradition, the design intentionally evokes decorative folk art styles. Size: 60" L x 11" W (152.4 cm x 27.9 cm) Item # 198109
