<p>[QUOTE="KEN C HERRERA, post: 3059701, member: 17497"][ATTACH=full]291874[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]291879[/ATTACH] Hello to all! Just joined this group but am a long time collector of different antique items. My latest find is this needlepoint/petit point tapestry. It measures 28 inches wide by 36 inches tall (excluding the frame, just the art) The frame was apparently hand made. The person I purchased it from says she took it to the antique road show about 10 years ago and was told it was a British needlepoint and that the frame appeared to have been made from parts of an old bed frame. The insurance value at the time was 4,000.00. The tapestry has a small tear in it, on the right leg of the man standing, and several small bits of moth damage. It also needs a serious cleaning. IF this is, in fact, worth thousands I want to have it professionally restored. My questions are: any idea what this is? and, any recommendations as to someone who can clean and restore it?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
