A Pair of Framed Machine Woven French Genre Scene Tapestries Depicting Children - This is a pair of machine woven decorative tapestries executed in a pointille weave, depicting sentimental genre scenes of children in the French style. The first tapestry features a young boy and girl in traditional European clothing standing by a stone garden fountain, with the boy resting an arm on the girl's shoulder. The second tapestry depicts an interior laundry scene with three children; one girl washes clothes in a wooden bucket as a magpie perches on the rim, another girl holds a cloth, and a third child stands behind her while two kittens play on the floor. Each textile is mounted within a linen textured mat and a dark brown wooden frame accented by a gold tone inner border with a repeating scroll pattern. The reverse of each frame bears a paper label from Furama's, a professional framing shop in Westfield, New Jersey. 21.5 x 22 inches and 22.5 x 23 inches.
