<p>[QUOTE="Debora, post: 4252757, member: 1476"]A lot of those show up here. May not be what you want to hear but... Typically they were machine woven in the early 20th century (not quite antique) and imported from France or Belgium. Usually, not worth the cost of restoration. If I'm "reading" your photographs correctly, the front is badly faded and the back has retained some of its original color. Would/could you post a photograph of the tag? By way, from what I can see, the clothing is early 17th century when ruffs are still worn but are being replaced with softer neckware. (This is Charles I with ruff, doublet and breeches painted in 1629.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Debora</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]337762[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
