<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mmarco102, post: 402970, member: 8289&quot;]This beautiful 5 foot by 4 foot tapestry was purchased from an online auction house for less than the minimum wage(seriously). I know very little about tapestries but felt at that cost the frame was worth more. After getting it home and getting up close, I noticed that it wasn&#039;t a tapestry but what I believe to be a very large embroidery. In the close up pictures you will see that it is also what I would call an unfinished work, as parts of the mesh has no yarn.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The entire work looks great from just a few feet away, so I was wondering, is this really unfinished or do individuals choose to leave areas unfinished as their own artistic choice? I cant imagine someone having a truly unfinished work professionally matted and framed being as large as it is. Again this is very large embroidery or am I getting the medium wrong? I can not find 5 foot embroideries online either finished of for sale as a kit(that could be related to my weak google skills) <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /> <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /> <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Additionally, this is very vintage. Im guessing 60’s 70’s by the frame, but the work looks a little bit older. Sorry for the angled view, this has a heavy plastic cover that is highly reflective, so a clear shot was difficult. Should I replace the plastic with glass or remove completely, what would be the norm?</p><p><br /></p><p>Is there any history to the design? Era? Style?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]140343[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]140344[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]140345[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]140346[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]140347[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
