Croquet Scene — Homer Tapestry Blanket
Couldn't load pickup availability
Painted in 1866, this oil is one of five works Winslow Homer completed on the fashionable pastime of croquet, newly imported to the United States from Britain. Rendered with bold patterning and bright outdoor light, it captures men and women at leisure on a summer afternoon, part of Homer's early turn from Civil War illustration toward oil painting. The work is held in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago.
Jacquard-woven as a soft, double-sided tapestry throw with fringed edges — a warm layer for the sofa or bed.

This is a decent blanket at a slightly optimistic price. I don’t regret it and I don’t celebrate it…
Sorry the price felt high for what arrived. Email us and we can look at a partial refund, and I would like to hear what would have made this a five.
My whole family has opinions about the house and everyone agreed on this one. It brings out parts of Croquet Scene I have never seen reproduced this well.
Thanks for the review, and for trusting us with a gift order. Glad it arrived when it was supposed to.
I wanted something for the breakfast nook that nobody else would have, and this is it. There is a life to Croquet Scene here that flat reproductions usually kill.
This shop does everything right, from checkout to delivery. Everything that makes Croquet Scene special survived the reproduction. Thank you for making something this good.
It landed on my porch in perfect condition two days early. I have wanted something by Homer since college, and Croquet Scene was the one to get.
