<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2manybooks, post: 2626600, member: 8267&quot;]We have seen this type of jacquard woven &quot;tapestry&quot; before. In terms of value, I will quote a comment from the Antiques Roadshow that I posted before:</p><p><br /></p><p>Antiques Roadshow has a webpage on things they commonly see. Included is an example of these jacquard woven tapestries:</p><p><img src="https://www-tc.pbs.org/prod-media/antiques-roadshow/article/images/18_Rugs.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Their commentary: &quot;These are some of the most often-seen objects by ROADSHOW&#039;s Textiles experts. While these tapestries can look hand-woven to the untrained eye, they were woven by machine primarily in France, Belgium, or Italy during the first half of the 20th century, with examples still manufactured today. In general these pieces tend to be quite small — ranging in size from 18x36 inches to 36x48 inches — and often depict interior or exterior genre scenes, exotic scenes from the Near East, or are reproductions of earlier hand-woven tapestries. They tend to be fairly muted in color — faded looking — and will have a much less distinct pattern on the back then they do on the face. The biggest clue to determining if a tapestry, table cover or coverlet is a jacquard is if it is labeled or stamped on the back with a country of origin. While these tapestries were extremely popular decorative accessories during the early 20th century, they were made in extremely large quantities and do not have much secondary market value today. Unfortunately, they are rarely worth more than $100.&quot;</p><p><a href="https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/roadshow/stories/articles/2012/6/4/things-we-commonly-see-roadshow" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/roadshow/stories/articles/2012/6/4/things-we-commonly-see-roadshow" rel="nofollow">https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/roadshow/stories/articles/2012/6/4/things-we-commonly-see-roadshow</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
