Emanating timeless style with incredible detail and texture, this handwoven wool antique verdure tapestry is a captivating vision of woven beauty. The idyllic pastoral scene and soft earthy colorway woven into this piece work together creating a look of true Old World charm. The antique verdure wall hanging depicts a peaceful wooded landscape with dense green vegetation. Nestled among the trees are a couple of exotic birds.
