This could be repurposed, backed with new fabric/silk, add new trim, repair the split if you are handy with a needle. Used as a center pelmet with a pair of curtains either side. c1870s so has lived, but could go on and live a little longer :0)
Braid trim and gold silk backing needs replacing, marks to the velvet - see all photographs. Needs a lot of TLC but was too good to not rescue - See all photogaphs AND ASK QUESTIONS if you need any further information.
