    Don't know about the Chinese woman.

    The tapestry is in a 1950s frame. Tapestry was popular again during that time. Might not be quite as old as 90 years.

    Welcome to the forum, Meem.
    The Chinese lady could be 19th century, but others will know more about the age of the wood.
    Here is info on Chinese reverse glass painting. The article focuses on Imperial pieces, which are of top quality. Yours is very nice, but not Imperial.

    Difficult with dating of the reverse glass, but looks quite old to my eye. 19 century, at least would be my guess, too. I like it.

    Not good with tapestries, so defer to others.
