Large Antique Textile – After Henry Thomas Alken (1785–1851)
 
A rare and decorative large-scale equestrian textile, after the renowned artist Henry Alken, celebrated for his spirited 19th-century scenes of horses and riders.
 
This impressive piece captures the drama of crossing the River Avon from Stanton Park, alive with movement as horses wade and leap through the water while their riders attempt to keep control. Full of narrative detail, it is a lively celebration of horse and rider.
 
Printed on textile rather than paper, the work has a soft, almost tapestry-like quality. At over 120 cm wide, it makes a remarkable statement piece. Presented in a period-style frame, with natural age-toning and wear to the surface that only add to its antique character.
 
A striking and unusual work, perfect for a country house or equestrian interior.
