Description: This handmade vintage tapestry showcases a beautiful blend of different textiles, including linen, cotton, and fabric. The design features intricate appliqué and embroidery work in a multicolor pattern with Egyptian people, a Pharaoh, and donkey. The background is a thick cream-colored linen, and the tapestry is double-bordered with two different silk-like materials. This original piece was hand-sewn in the early 20th century and has an antique finish. The handcrafting and detail of this is seen on the back with crude, black thread — common with tapestries made in this era. Measuring at 18 inches in length, height, and width, it is a medium-sized square tapestry suitable for indoor use, with the option to display it on the wall. It does not have a hanging device, but that is an easy fix. The tapestry is foldable and features double-bordered silk edging around the perimeter. It is a one-of-a-kind piece that would make a perfect addition to any antique or tapestry collection, or those who collect antique and vintage Pharaoh & Egyptian pieces. This has a few loose threads, and there are a few minor areas of damage on the delicate silk borders, but it's in overall good antique condition. I had this tapestry appraised by world-renowned art expert, Dr. Lori V (Verderame - see third to last photo) at $150. This is such a lovely representation of Egyptian history!
