Tapestry





I was in a junk shop and saw this just laying on the floor! I admire very much the beauty that is found in 'old' tapestries of past times and this is one of my most treasured. I think that it is probably late Victorian or Edwardian. I love this!... not just for the workmanship that looks freeform to me but also the moulded frame!

  2. Hi ya, looking at the picture that I have uploaded it doesn't show just how large it is... it is about 2 1/2 feet high and about 1 1/2 feet across... can you imagine how long it took to do??... no looking at Holby City or Eastenders! Head down everynight working on it...!x
