Lot 157: A Vintage Machine-Woven Velour Wall Hanging Depicting The Last Supper
A machine-woven plush velour wall hanging or rug, dating from the mid-to-late 20th century. The central scene features a representation of Leonardo da Vinci’s The Last Supper, executed in a vibrant palette of colours including deep blues, ochre yellows, oranges, and reds. The figures and architectural elements are rendered in a stylised manner characteristic of mass-produced decorative religious textiles from this period. The composition is framed by a narrow decorative border with a repeating geometric pattern in green, yellow, and red. The construction consists of a synthetic plush pile on a woven backing. No maker’s marks or labels are visible.
Dimensions: Not provided.
