Hanging tapestry
25” x 32” (34” w/ fringe), .25” deep. Fabrics unknown but looks like maroon velvet, embroidered leather knights, fringe, and other unknown fabric. Said to be hundreds of years old but we are unsure. This has recently been inherited from a family member.
Previously Robert Maselli and his parents Robert Emile Maselli and Mildred Beery (and potentially Charles Maselli and Anne Maria Mirra before them, but unsure).
