[QUOTE="Morg, post: 3705960, member: 18927"][ATTACH=full]312110[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]312111[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]312112[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]312113[/ATTACH] Hello, I’m new here - but enjoying the active community and learning a lot! I recently found an old tapestry going through some of my things and was curious if anyone here might know anything about it’s origin. The tapestry is not in the best shape, but aside from the tear and some wrinkling of the back cloth, the color has been well preserved. There is no signature that I’ve found, but the backing cloth may be covering one up. I’d like to avoid messing with it much until I can determine more or less it’s age, origin, etc before looking to possibly restore it. The fabric is velvet or felt and aside from the tears has held up nicely. I don’t suppose anyone might have any information that could help my wife and I figure out where this is from? Thank you![/QUOTE]
