[QUOTE="benbenny007, post: 310629, member: 4194"]Hi all How old could this piece be? It looks like it got some age to it. I have put it myself in its current frame. Looks like they streched the linen on a gilden frame and used hammered nails. Somebody maybe a idea how old this linen or cotton could be or maybe an idea when such decoration was used like the red glass stones or beads. It shows King Alfred who lived in the 9th century. Surly this is not that old ☺ [ATTACH=full]102660[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]102661[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]102662[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]102663[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]102664[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]102665[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]102666[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]102667[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]102668[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
