Silk, cotton

This is an antique tapestry. Sourced in France and probably dating to the mid to late 19th century. The board backing has the label of the original framers from Versailles. The style is gothic revival and depicts a medieval falconer and his lady.The tapestry is probably cotton /silk blend. The whole is set on a wooden board.
The tapestry is intact and in fair condition for age if a little faded. The edges are darkened from the original frame which is absent. The backing paper at the back is disintegrated.
95 x 53cm
