This is from my private stash. I'm disbursing panels I just am never going to get to make up in to those lush opulent down-filled throw pillows I love. YOU get to do it, instead.  

More typical of the c.1600s fragments, this one has centuries of restorations, but still is so appealing. Flemish verdure, it is in wool that is entirely hand corded, dyed, woven on looms. Linen warp often deteriorated over centuries of hanging and the weight of a full tapestry pulling down on itself through time. But these fragments make up into the most gorgeous throw pillows, even the restorations prove interesting and a true link to its history. I've made up a lot of these into down-filled and silk or silk velvet pillows, lush fringes and just so beautiful as they are. This one will win your heart, too.  

Will be listing a large private collection (my own) of c.1600 = c.1850 tapestry panels. Be sure to mark our shop and come back!

Good to not so great condition, true, but for its age and for the work, it is just beautiful even so. Look at the old sticking that restored it, probably 200 or more years ago, crudely done but yet still a part of something beautiful and to be preserved. Your chance to have a panel that reaches back and takes you back to those you've loved in museums, chateaus, palaces when you've visited on your own travels. It is odorless apart from the light scent of fine wool. Imagine the hands that worked on this piece - 1600s, possibly earlier on this one.

Return Policy:
We always honor a 3-day return on our items, and guarantee them to be as described. Money back, less shipping costs, which are not refundable, so ask questions if necessary. We're easy to deal with.

Shipping and Handling Policy:

You are very important! Our fine inventory is very important. And your ranking of our performance is also very important! We wish to keep our 4.9 - 5 star ratings in all categories. Customer satisfaction is paramount with us, so if you're thinking we have not deserved your highest marks, please contact us and allow us to be sure your concerns are completely satisfied before you rank us. We aim for 5-star transactions every day, and depend upon you to tell us directly if we have not yet met that standard for your transaction. Thank you! We most often use USPS for our shipping needs but will be happy to ship by another carrier if you prefer.

We charge only actual postage & insurance, never a handling fee and never for packaging materials. Ebay is now requiring that our clients rank us on "shipping". The shipping price, speed and handling are actually under the sole control of the delivering postal agency, not Antiques & Uncommon Treasure so please remember that and leave us high DSR rankings. As always, please also feel free to contact us if you have any problems or concerns, we'll do what we can to ensure a happy and mutually enjoyable transaction.

Insurance has been eliminated as an option by ebay, forcing us sellers to either ship your items without insurance or assume that expense also. We always insure our items BUT, more importantly, pack them extremely well knowing that most are not replaceable. Again, damage in transit, while rare in our experience, is due to the postal agency handling and not caused by Antiques & Uncommon Treasure. Please remember that when leaving DSR ratings. Thanks!

Our shipping days are Tuesday and Friday, paid items will be shipped on the first shipping day after payment is received (except when special circumstances exist). We prefer to use USPS whenever possible, and require all packages to be insured. If you prefer another method of shipment, please mention it. We charge only actual expense of shipment/insurance, except in the case of larger items which must have special wood crates built. Wood crate charge, when applicable, is a flat $35.00 in addition to actual postage & insurance charges.
