A 17th-century tapestry fragment is a surviving portion of a larger hand-woven wall hanging from the Baroque period, often repurposed into smaller decorative items like cushions.

Historic tapestries were traditionally woven on vertical or horizontal looms using dyed wool and silk yarns, frequently incorporating metallic threads such as gilt-wrapped silver.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-spun natural dye yarns, characteristic weave structures such as warp-faced plain weaves, and appropriate signs of age-related wear and oxidisation.

Pair historic textile pieces with modern neutral furnishings and clean lines to create a textural focal point that bridges traditional craftsmanship with modern design.

Protect antique textiles from direct sunlight to prevent dye fading, avoid high humidity, and clean only via specialist conservation methods.
