Antique Round Braided Silk Tabletop Mat - One of Two layered painting I think Canadian as that's

I think Canadian as that's where it came from

MA (more below) and was commissioned by one of the Dummers as a model of sorts of the original colonial era fulling mill on the property--built by John Pearson on the Mill River

To me it has a bit of a Carl Auboch feel

And the design of some of the cards is great

Antique Round Braided Silk Tabletop Mat - One of Two layered painting I think Canadian as that'sI've become such a fan of these old braided mats, and look at a lot of them before landing on ones I really like. This and one other I am listing I found together and assume were made by the same person, who I think had a very good eye for color and pattern. Good on the table under the coffee pot or tea pot or dishes or candlesticks or whatever. 14 1 8" in diameter and in good antique condition on both side, definitely used and a bit faded, but lovely.
