Thank you for submitting your item for appraisal. This appears to be a first half 20th century machine woven french wall hanging for the north african market, depicting a couple and a guard on horseback seemingly escaping from an arab city. The designs for these wall hangings are usually copied from orientalist paintings of the period. The estimate is based on similar items of similar condition offered or sold at auction recently.
