Antique French Needlepoint Tapestry

15.25” x 17.5”

A beautifully hand-stitched 18th or early 19th-century needlepoint tapestry featuring a romantic courtship scene. The finely detailed figures—a gentleman in an embroidered coat and plumed hat and a lady in a flowing gown with an elaborate headdress—stand beneath a flowering tree, evoking the refined Rococo or early Romantic style.

The meticulous needlework, likely petit point, captures delicate shading and intricate patterns, adding depth and texture. The piece is mounted within its original gilded wooden frame, which shows age-appropriate wear, enhancing its antique charm.

A striking decorative piece that brings historical elegance to any space, whether displayed in a salon, study, or bedroom.

Condition: Wear to the gilded frame, light age toning to the textile, but overall well-preserved. See photos for details.

Origin: France, late 18th to mid-19th century.
