This listing is for an Antique 18th C. Aubusson Tapestry Measuring 111 inches by 65 inches ( 9 ft 3 inches by 5 ft 5 inches or  281 cm by 165 cm ) , from Minnesota Historical Society Mary Griggs Burke Collection

Mary Griggs Burke , a well known Art Collector with Major Collections in Major Museums across the U.S. . I am sure there are mounds of documents available on her and her collecting online.

I purchased this as 19th Century piece and since have shown it to several textile experts all of which see it as Late 18th Century. 

Wool Warp, wool weave. 

In fair as shown condition, it has not been cleaned while in my possession , having a few stains , lots of repair , and still in need of mounting and or further conservation along with a good soak wash but I guess such is considered normal for this class of weavings. 



It will be shipped folded and rolled.

I usually post many more images on my listing than the 12 listed on eBay gallery which only will be visible to individuals on classic eBay site ( that would be when item is viewed on a computer) . Images are continuous and have an order ( front , back, sides, etc.. ) and should be viewed in continuous fashion. If you are on a mobile site , click on SEE DESCRIPTION to see complete description and all posted images .

There are a total of 54  images of this item posted within the body of this listing . Make sure you see them all .

I will gladly combine shipping whenever possible.



All shipments will be Insured with the exception of specific items listed to be shipped by Postal First Class Mail or Media Mail which will travel Uninsured at buyer's risk. I pack extremely well.



On International shipments: First Class Shipments cannot be insured and therefore will not be used except if you email me and request addition of First Class to shipping options and accepting full responsibility for loss / damage / non delivery or any other mishap in very clear words and understanding that should something go wrong , you might lose what you have paid for item and its shipping. I  save a copy of shipment receipt which you can ask for a copy of anytime during transaction period and within reasonable time afterwards ( 60 days). So if you want shipping by first class, send me an email requesting it and accepting faults and I will add a First Class option to the listing for you.

For combined shipping and saving on shipment of multiple items together, add items to cart, goto cart and request total for multiple shipments.
