This is an Antique Tapestry that my father gave me 35 years ago that was given to him by a decorator. He (my father) owned a custom drapery shop in San Francisco for many years that he inherited from my grandfather.

Description

I believe this is 16th century french origin. It was brought to a dealer maybe 25 years ago and I was told it was a “fragment” tapestry. She mentioned something about the bird and the animals but I can’t recall. It is quite rough to the touch and I believe it is wool. The backing I think linen, the bottom hem is coming up. It’s quite heavy. Measures approximately 70 1/2” long x 49 1/2” wide. It has some wear and tear but no holes or tears.
