Richard Ansdell John Crossley a Pair of Carpet Mosaic Pictures

19th century
For Sale by Baggott & Co.
Description

Richard Ansdell John Crossley Carpet Mosaic Pictures

The Scottish Gamekeeper and The English Gamekeeper

Mosaic picture panel of worsted threads on linen made by carpet makers John Crossleys of Halifax

English, circa 1860

Each 62.5cm H, 54.5cm W. (The frame)

In the Victorian era John Crossley and Sons was the largest carpet manufacturing firm in the world, thanks mainly to their pioneering use and development of steam-powered looms and the fact that all processes from raw materials to finished carpets were carried out on the one site at Dean Clough, Halifax. Carpet “mosaics,” which were pictures made from coloured, worsted mohair fibers, were a sideline for the English carpet manufacturer, called Crossley Mosaics they only produced between 1850 and 1869.

After paintings by Richard Ansdell (1815-1885) these were first printed as engravings in the 1858 by Henry Graves & Co. These mosaic panels were created after the engravings and are rare examples of Crossley's mosaics - they have survived as a pair and are presented in their original ogee rosewood frames with a gilt slip.

Condition: They are presented in good overall condition, the colour of the panels is good and both quite uniform, the Scottish keeper has tears to the panel, one of about 15cm across the top left corner and another to the dog in the foreground and the lower left corner, however as they are framed and mounted behind glass the damages are not obvious. The English keeper has survived very well without any tears - perhaps he had the easier life!

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Carpet mosaic pictures are woven textile artworks created using dyed wool yarns to reproduce fine art paintings. Developed in mid-19th century Britain, particularly by manufacturers such as John Crossley & Sons, this specialized loom technique produced detailed pictorial scenes with a dense pile suitable for framing.

These pictorial panels were crafted using fine wool yarns woven onto a heavy structural backing. They were typically presented in deep mahogany, rosewood, or walnut moulded frames fitted with a gilded inner slip and protected under glass.

Authentic pieces exhibit a distinct velvety carpet pile, precise tonal gradation achieved through varied wool dyes, and compositions frequently based on prominent 19th-century sporting or animal artists. The reverse often retains period backing boards and original framing construction.

A pair of framed textile pictures works effectively when hung symmetrically above a sideboard, console table, or mantelpiece. The rich textures and natural tones integrate well within traditional, rustic, or dark academia interior schemes.

Keep textile art away from direct sunlight to prevent UV fading of the wool dyes. Ensure the frame remains sealed against dust and insects, and maintain a stable indoor humidity level to prevent fibre degradation.
