How do I hang a heavy gilt framed tapestry safely?

These pieces require sturdy wall anchors and appropriate picture wire capable of supporting the combined weight of wood, glass, and textile. Position the work away from direct sunlight to protect the wool and silk threads from fading over time.

Are these tapestries antique?

The selection includes pieces dating from the nineteenth century through to the early twentieth century. Victorian and Edwardian examples represent the core of the available material. Each item carries the specific manufacturing characteristics and material patination of its respective period.

How should I clean the glass and frame?

Use a soft, dry cloth to remove dust from the gilt wood frame without disturbing the metallic surface. Clean the protective glass with a standard glass cleaner applied to the cloth rather than directly onto the frame. Keep moisture away from both the wood and the exposed textile edges.

What subjects appear in these textile pictures?

Common subjects range from floral embroidery and animal studies, such as horses, to narrative portraits and historical scenes. Recreations of famous paintings also feature among the textile works. These varied themes reflect the domestic and artistic tastes of the Victorian and Edwardian periods.
