<p>[QUOTE=&quot;techbiker, post: 4557205, member: 60629&quot;]Recently, I purchased a lot of 3 hand-woven ?19th century? tapestries and 2 hand-stitched 19th century needlepoints from the UK. Honestly, I&#039;m a bit out of my element here. Some of the subject matter is also atypical for me. I had a hunch these were authentic though and just couldn&#039;t resist making the purchase!</p><p><br /></p><p>I performed a bit of detective work on the frames but don&#039;t have nearly the textile expertise to dig deeper. Do you have thoughts on age, subject matter, weaver, etc.? The needlepoints are in newish, low quality laminate frames w/o archival mounting materials. Is it worth reglazing all works with museum glass? Are these unusual/interesting pieces? All opinions/thoughts/criticism welcome!</p><p><br /></p><p>Needlepoint #1, Women Feeding Swans in Public Garden (17&quot;x25&quot; sight). Probably reframed post WW2:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/6O1fkcV.jpeg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Verso:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/VEAhqAQ.jpeg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Needlepoint #2, Woman Dancing with Tambourine (17-1/2&quot; x 22&quot; sight).
