The composition depicts a serene countryside with rolling hills, mature trees, lush foliage, and a tranquil water setting with swans resting near the shoreline. The scene is framed by a decorative border of stylized oak leaves set against a deep navy ground, providing strong contrast and visual balance.

Handwoven in wool needlepoint on a canvas foundation, the piece displays a soft, painterly quality with a harmonious palette of ivory, greens, warm earth tones, and subtle blues. The elongated runner format makes it especially versatile, suitable for hallways, stair landings, or as a wall hanging.

The tapestry remains in good antique condition, showing light wear and gentle patina consistent with age and use. A refined and decorative textile that adds depth, history, and classic English charm to both traditional and eclectic interiors. See less
