Title: Antique Tapestry?
Post by: khunn on May 17, 2011, 11:28:05 pm

Found this tapestry and was familiar with 'The Angelus', so I bought it( $12 yardsale art ). It is in really good condition, but not sure as to how old it may be. It is approx 24 x 20 with just a little fraying on the ends. Hoping someone here is more familiar with this kind of thing. As always, thnx for looking.

It appears to be a newer woven throw but hard to tell from the photo. The thickness/fineness of the material should help determine age so an extreme close-up would help.

Hi,
A photo of the reverse will also tell us a lot
