Offered as a matched single lot of two, this is a gorgeous pair of vintage 1960s/1970s German embroidered crewel tapestry wall hangings. Perfect for flanking a doorway, creating a balanced gallery wall, or bringing a coordinated cottagecore warmth to any room, these highly textured textiles showcase complementary medieval European townscapes. Both pieces are heavily inspired by the iconic half-timbered architecture, old stone towers, and historic cobblestone lanes of Rothenburg ob der Tauber in Bavaria, Germany.
