Christian Tilemann-Petersen, The Tapestry Room At Svanholm ManorThis fine early 20th century oil painting by Danish artist Christian Tilemann Petersen (1874 1926) depicts the tapestry room at Svanholm Manor. Porcelain stands in symmetry upon a white console table with gilding untarnished and pristine. Two piles of old books are stacked neatly on a plush red tablecloth. A woodland tapestry covers the back wall, partially reflected in a grand mirror. Tilemann Petersen was a painter of opulent interiors. Recording
