Antique Stevengraph Fox Hunt Woven Silk Picture, Full Cry
Couldn't load pickup availability
A fox, a pack of hounds in full run, and a field of riders in scarlet, all woven on a Jacquard loom in silk thread rather than painted or printed. Thomas Stevens of Coventry made these pictures in the late Victorian years, and Full Cry is the middle scene of a three-part hunt set that begins with The Meet and ends with The Death. Look for the lady in the dark habit, riding sidesaddle near the front of the field.
The silk is in good condition for its age. The colors are strong and the weave looks intact, with no visible loss or fraying. There is a faint tide-line mark in the upper right of the silk, near the hill and farmhouse. The card mount is evenly toned with scattered foxing and a few darker spots across the lower margin.
The black frame shows small edge wear and a few light dings along the top. The picture is glazed, with no breaks visible in the glass. The paper backing is old and carries a small tear at the top corner. The braided hanging cord is intact.
Please review all photographs closely, as they form part of this description.

Important Info About Antique & Vintage
Every antique and vintage item we carry has lived a life before arriving in your home. These are not factory-made products. They are objects with history, character, and the marks of time.
Age-appropriate wear, patina, minor imperfections, and signs of previous use or repair are inherent to antique and vintage items and are not considered defects. These characteristics are part of what makes each piece unique and are often what give it its beauty and value.
We describe the condition of each piece as accurately as possible in the listing. If you have specific questions about a piece before purchasing, please reach out. We are always happy to provide additional photos or details.
Colors may appear slightly different on screen due to monitor settings and photography lighting. We do our best to represent each item accurately.
Descriptions, dates, attributions, materials, and measurements are provided in good faith and reflect our best assessment based on research, physical examination, and the information available to us. Antique and vintage pieces often carry incomplete or unverifiable histories. Where a detail is an assessment rather than a confirmed fact, it is identified as such. Measurements are approximate. All items are sold as-is, with the photographs and condition report governing.
