Hello, everyone!
I've not used the community before, but I could use some help with identifying what this embroidered and woven tapestry. Any idea the country of origin, meaning behind the depiction, age? Anything will help.
Measures about 78" long (not including tassels) x 13" wide.
Whomever owned it previously had a professional wood stretcher made with orange fabric, then sewed the tapestry onto the orange fabric to preserve it.
The base fabric of the tapestry is hand woven, as you can see the salmon red color varies as the thread changed during the weaving (abrashes). The salmon red color appears faded, and less so on the tassels, so likely some age (or hung in bright light).
The figures and objects are embroidered with black, dark blue, dark green, bright yellow, white, and pink. The colors of these threads seem to be very stable, showing no sign of fading.
There appears to be initials, E H, embroidered between two horses(?).
Finally, the orange white boarder at the start of the tassels is an in a delta/zig zag type pattern.
Thanks for the help!
