Large antique Georgian tapestry sampler depicting Rebecca and Eliezer at the Well in original gilt frame
A striking decorative piece that exhibits exceptional craftsmanship and skill throughout.
The impressive tapestry is held within its original gold gilt frame with ornate beading and scrollwork throughout.
Rebecca and Eliezer at the Well is a prominent biblical story from Genesis 24 that has inspired numerous famous works of art spanning from the early medieval era to the Baroque period. The narrative follows Abraham’s chief servant, Eliezer, who is tasked with finding a wife for Abraham's son, Isaac. God provides a sign: the chosen woman will offer water to both Eliezer and his ten camels. Rebecca appears, fulfils the prophecy through her hospitality, and is presented with betrothal jewels.
The tapestry has some minor age related tears. However, these small defects do little to detract from the piece when on display.
