This vibrant vintage Egyptian wool tapestry captures a romanticised desert landscape bathed in the warm glow of a sunset. Woven in rich gradations of fiery orange, ochre, and crimson, the sky sets the tone for an idyllic scene, whether along the Nile or in a desert oasis. Tall, stylised date palms and distant pyramids rise in silhouette, while traditional adobe-style buildings with flat roofs and small windows nestle beside calm waters. In the foreground, two black camels with colourful saddles, one seated, one standing, rest near the water’s edge, their forms boldly outlined against the cool blues and earthy browns of the riverbank. A sailboat glides quietly in the background, adding movement and depth to the composition. With its striking colour contrasts and folkloric charm, this wool tapestry is a vivid tribute to Egyptian culture, ideal for adding warmth and narrative to any space.
