<p>[QUOTE="KEN C HERRERA, post: 3062425, member: 17497"]It does have feet, but does not stand very well...My wife also thought it might have been used as a fireplace screen. The back of the frame is covered with what appears to be a fine silk cloth that has a tear across the top allowing me to see inside, a bit. I tried getting pictures of the back of the tapestry but the tear is not large enough to take a good picture. When I learn more about it I will remove the material so I can get a good look at the back to see how the needlework was done. I can already see it has LOTS of dust on the back side of the work itself, so the silk cover didn't do much except filter the dust into fine particles! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
