<p>[QUOTE="Jrhodehamel, post: 4010702, member: 20074"]Thank you for your opinion. In order to verify that I would have to take it apart. And since it is over 100yrs old, don't really want to do that. It belonged to my grandmother and I was told by my father that it was needlepoint. But with your input I went in search online for some answers. The Jacquard machine was invented in early 1800's. I saw a portrait of the inventor (Jacquard) done by his machine. It was strikingly similar to what I have as far as the coloring and silken sheen. So I believe this is an early woven piece done with the "new" Jacquard machine.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
