An Occasional Tapestry

Every now and then, we get a nice old tapestry in here, usually to prepare for hanging. While tapestries certainly are interesting to us, they aren't exactly our area of expertise. We are connected with experts, so when the need arises, we can obtain detailed information for clients that seek info on their tapestries, or else put them in touch directly with the experts.

This tapestry came into our shop this week, and though we have yet to obtain information on its age and origin as of yet, I still felt it was interesting enough to post pictures of.

It is about 12' by 10', and is in very good condition. It has an interesting little Colosseum in the background, with a pair of dueling gladiators in it.

It had been prepared for hanging using Velcro at some point in the past, and now the Velcro is being removed, and a sleeve added so it can be hung on the wall with a decorative rod. Each method has its advantages.
