<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bellebelle, post: 1117786, member: 12615&quot;]Morning! I requested additional pics from the eBay tapestries posted - both the machine-woven one Debora posted and the 1920&#039;s one I tracked down. The first one had a flat back, Jacquard-woven. The 1920&#039;s one had a back very similar to mine, and the antiques dealer selling it said it was hand-loomed. A friend of mine reached out (I didn&#039;t realize she knew about tapestries!!!) and mentioned that the long fibers I was wondering about are called floats. She also felt that mine was hand-loomed or at least that the loom was on the less mechanical end. ? Either way, I definitely smitten by the history of tapestries now![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
