Tapestry from the 16th CENTURY

Sometimes at OC Rug Store, we get the honor of working on a true antique. One of those opportunities came when this 16th century tapestry arrived in the store. Though it’s 500 years old, the tapestry is holding up remarkably well, with only some fading of colors to mark the passage of time.

Tapestries became a popular form of decoration in the Middle Ages since they were light and easy to transport, meaning that this particular piece has traveled thousands of miles from the Old World to the New. Even on pieces this old, we are able to restore damage and appraise their value. Bring all your antique rugs, wall hangings, and tapestries to OC Rug Store and let our expert team handle them with care.
