This isn't a detecting find, and since TNet is the only site I go to anymore, other than Ebay, I wanted to see if anyone had any Ideas on this. I have no idea what direction to even head! I consider this art, and I know nothing! Here's some quick pictures. There is a story behind this, and I'm not usually into this kind of stuff. The pictures don't do it justice. The work involved is amazing. It has some water and cat urine damage, before I proceed with it, I need to know what it is exactly, about what time period, and value. If worthless? so what I'll experiment on it.
I may be in the wrong forum,Any direction or information would Be awesome! This has been floating around for a few years because I didn't know anything about it and it's time to do something with it.....A family member said late 1600's, That's the only guess I've had and have no clue if that is remotely close. I'll try to get some better pictures if needed, the lighting here stinks.
The last picture is the back side. This looks like it was maybe? some kind of silk type thread? Each color change is a different thread. Who ever did this put a lot of time into it. The detail doesn't show well in the pics, but it's awesome!! for just being thread and stitches?
What I do know, is the family I got it from settled in PA and outside of Buffalo NY, From German and Swiss(we think) ancestry and not even sure of what dates, way back is all I was told,I also got victorian and earlier furniture from the same estate, One dresser or whatever it's called and a few other pieces are late 1600's early 1700's, I'm not sure if that helps anything....
