[QUOTE="Sandra, post: 266101, member: 3335"]I think what you have is crewelwork, traditionally wool embroidery on a linen background. I would remove the cardboard backing asap as the acids from the cardboard will leach into the fabric, causing potentially permanent damage. If you have a museum with a textile department in your area, I think it would be worth your time to get their opinion as to age, that would help you to establish value.[/QUOTE]
