Vintage Plush Velvet Wall Tapestry Depicting an Arabian Nights Scene - A mid-century machine-woven decorative wall tapestry featuring a plush, velvet-like or chenille texture. The central motif depicts an Orientalist-style night scene with a rider in a turban and flowing orange robes mounted on a galloping white horse. The landscape includes palm trees, desert flora, and a domed building under a crescent moon and star-filled sky. The composition is enclosed within a broad decorative border of repeating geometric and floral patterns, with a short fringe at the vertical edges. Such textiles were commonly produced for the international export and souvenir markets between the 1950s and 1970s. No maker's marks or labels are visible.
