Preservation requires avoiding direct sunlight to prevent dye fading, maintaining stable humidity and temperature levels, and periodic professional dusting or conservation cleaning.

Mounting a large antique textile on a tension rod or specialised backing system allows it to serve as a dramatic focal point, softening architectural planes and adding texture to contemporary spaces.

Authenticity is assessed through examination of the weave density, natural dye oxidation patterns, hand-spun fibre characteristics, and the presence of traditional selvages or weavers marks.

Authentic period tapestries were typically hand-woven on high-warp or low-warp looms using hand-spun wool and silk yarns, often accented with metallic threads like gold or silver gilt.

Verdure tapestries feature lush, forest-dominated landscapes with foliage, trees, and often small figures or animals, characteristic of French and Flemish weaving traditions during the baroque period.
