Amazing antique Scottish tapestry in gilt frame tat measures almost six feet wide - 180 CM
The subject is based on the famous oil painting ''Scotland Mourning'' which was originally painted by F. Hartwich
It shows Mary of Scotland mourning over a dying Douglas after the Battle of Langside (1568)
The Battle of Langside was fought in 1568 between the forces of Mary, Queen of Scots and those of the Regent Moray
Langside was a colossal defeat for Mary. Only one of Moray''s men was killed, whereas over 100 of Mary''s men were lost
After this Mary was exiled to England never to return to Scotland again
The details to the needlepoint are incredible and this would have taken some time to craft
Dramatic scene with an epic cast of characters
Such a great, unique piece we date to circa 1860
Due to it''s size the piece is heavy and is a unique chance to own a rare piece of Sottish history
