A Flemish Mythological Tapestry 17th Century 7 feet 1 inch x 8 feet. This lot is located in Chicago. Property from a Private Collection, Little Rock, Arkansas Condition Report Sturdy, ready-to-hang condition. The colors moderately faded with only the blues and reds remaining bright. Unsure if reduced from a larger tapestry, but likely with a later blue and gold selvedge border added. Re-woven areas throughout, including in the sky, on the torch, and on the bottom of the figure wearing red's clothing. The figure on the left side wearing red clothing also appears to have been heavily restored with newer weaving. The restoration is professional. Mounted to later linen backing and velcro at the top for hanging. Provenance Provenance: Marshall Clements, Little Rock, Arkansas
