RARE FINE QUALITY FRENCH LARGE WALL HANGING TAPESTRY 12'x6.6' OLD ESTATE - $3,000 - (Downsville, NY)

UP FOR AUCTION IS THIS ANTIQUE FRENCH 12 FEET BY 6.6 FEET TAPESTRY WALL HANGING. FOUND IN AN ATTIC OF A VERY OLD HISTORIC BROWNSTONE, WHERE THE ORIGINAL OWNER LIVED FOR OVER 80 YEARS. THERE IS A TAG FROM RAINS GALLERY AUCTION HOUSE OF NEW YORK CITY. THE GALLERY CLOSED IN 1937.THE SECOND PHOTO SHOWS THE BACK OF THE TAPESTRY. THE FOURTH PHOTO LOOKS LIKE A SIGNATURE AND DATE, BUT I CAN NOT MAKE IT OUT. IT IS ALSO HARD TO SHOW THE FULL TAPESTRY BECAUSE OF ITS LARGE SIZE. THE TAPESTRY LOOKS LIKE IT IS MADE OF COTTON AND SILK. THE SHAPE AND STITCHES LOOK UNEVEN. ITS SCENE LOOKS BIBLICAL. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY INFORMATION FROM SOMEONE FAMILIAR WITH ANTIQUE TAPESTRIES.
