Offering an antique tapestry in a beautiful wood frame.

• I'm in over my head with this beautiful antique tapestry,  I make no pretense to know much about it:)
• purchased this at an estate sale in Ohio....loved the frame and the muted, faded colors of the tapestry
  
• some internet research of a piece just like this one that sold on ebay in 2007 suggests this is an old French Tapestry from the 1800's, BUT I don't want to mislead my customer into thinking that I know this for sure.
• looks like a parlor room...maybe after a dinner party...with 3 distinct scenes
• ladies and gentleman in Renaissance period clothing
  
• worn and faded with damage to the threads in several places
• can't tell if it's dusty or worn or faded where it appears so light.  I tried brushing it with a brush but it didn't change the appearance
• no glass, the tapestry is backed with cardboard.
• you can see on the back the cardboard has had a paper dust cover at one time but has been torn off 
  
• cardboard is bowed towards the back from years of storage...I imagine is has drawn moisture
  
• Outside dimensions of the wood frame measure about  58.5" wide and 25" high including the ornate top of the frame
• frame is nicked, chipped and worn in places as pictured
  
• notice the green aged finish on the top of the frame
• not perfect by any means but charming in a shabby country way
• shipping seems high, even to me!  I have a feeling it is because of the size...not so much of the weight.  Any over-payment of shipping paid by the buyer will be refunded at time of shipment.

Policies:

All of my items are acquired at local Estate Auctions and Thrift Stores, so they are used or vintage in nature. I usually don't clean or launder any items, as each buyer/collector has their own methods of doing so.

While we are a non-smoking household, I have no way of knowing about the habits of the former owner. We do have a cat.

It is impossible to be an expert in all areas of the many different items that I sell. I am honestly representing the item to the best of my knowledge and ability.
