Two vintage machine-woven plush pictorial wall hanging rugs featuring wildlife motifs. The first rug depicts a pride of lions, including a male with a dark mane and a cub, set within a naturalistic landscape of greenery and red floral accents. This scene is enclosed by an ornate scroll and floral border against a dark ground and finished with a blue fringe along the upper edge. The second rug features a dynamic scene of a pouncing tiger against a vibrant red sky and a landscape of green and tan foliage, finished with a red fringe along one edge. Both pieces are constructed with a plush pile, likely a synthetic or cotton blend, on a machine-woven foundation. These textiles are characteristic of mass-produced decorative exports from the Mediterranean and Middle Eastern regions during the mid-20th century. No maker’s marks, labels, or signatures are visible on either piece.
Dimensions: Not provided.
