This unique and beautiful American Egyptian tapestry is a masterpiece of mixed media textile art. The vibrant colors and exquisite attention to detail make it a must-have for any collector of antique or handmade Egyptian-style art/artifacts. The rectangular shape and medium size of the piece, measuring 37.5 inches in height and 17.5 inches in width, make it suitable for display on any wall.


The tapestry features an Egyptian Pharaoh theme, with intricate embroidery and appliqué work that showcase the skilled hand sewing technique used in its production. The edges are lined with a burnt sienna or dark burnt orange border. The hand-stitching and attention to detail, as well as the time period this was created, are evident on the back with the crude stitching technique. The linen, cotton, and fabric materials used lend an antique finish to the piece, which is perfect for adding character and charm to any room.


I had this tapestry appraised by antiques and art expert, the world-renowned Dr. Lori V (Verderame - see last photo) at $200. This is in excellent antique condition, the colors are vibrant and there are no tears or damage, just a bit of normal wear due to its age. It does not come with a mechanism to hang it, but that is a simple fix. Just a beautiful and high-quality depiction of an Egyptian Pharaoh with added hieroglyphics.
