A RARE ENGLISH NEEDLEWORK ARMORIAL TAPESTRY CIRCA 1697-1709 Decorated to the centre with armorial for Sir Nathaniel Napier (1636-1709), 2nd Baronet of Middle Marsh and to the spandrels with crest and cypher for his second wife Susanna Guise by his marriage in 1697, gros and petit point work approximately 292cm high, 160cm wideProvenance:From the estate of Henry Lane Eno (1871-1928) and by descent to the current owner.Sir Nathaniel Napier travelled extensively in Europe in his early years and after his marriage in 1697 resumed his travels visiting France and Italy, 1701 Holland, 1704 Rotterdam and Hanover and 1706 Spa, Belgium. It is likely that the tapestry was created during these travels- or at home by an émigré Huguenot craftsman. The Guise family home, Elmore Court in Gloucestershire retains the wrought iron main gates, originally from Rendcombe. They display the same decorative design of the Guise emblem, the swan surmounted cypher, as this tapestry.Needlework carpets and hangings are an uncommon survivor from this date owing to the inherent fragility of their nature during everyday household life and use. The tradition of needlework, more commonly seen in chair coverings and small worked pieces, existed in England and Northern Europe through the production of 'table carpets'. There seems in this example to be a conscious emulation of the form of Chinese and Persian carpets-with the central design within roughly symmetrical floral background and spandrels. However, table carpets were designed as in the landscape view- whereas this is presented in a portrait format. Research to date has yet to reveal similar hangings from this period of this scale or quality. Condition Report: Overall; generally good given age but with typical accruing of surface dirt, dust and small areas of loss from old insect damages. The surface with some pulling in areas and signs of small spot remedial stitched repairs. Areas of creasing and lifting from being rolled- and section horizontal about 4/5ths of the way up which may be a repaired horizontal tear or pull.The sides with some unstitching and pulling- the bottom end with some fraying from more contact with floor and passage of people. Colours slightly muted by sunlight.Remnants of old backing- and newer protective backing. Slightly musty smell.ARMORIALThe blazon: argent, A saltire engrailed between three roses gules, seeded gules, inset the mark of a baronet (Nisbet) - impaling - gules, seven lozenges vaire cojoined (3:3:1), on a canton or, a spur-rowel of six points sable (Guise assumed from de Burgh) crest: issuant from a ducal coronet or, a plume of ostrich feathers (Nisbet) supporters: two eagles closed proper (Nisbet) Motto: MAJOR PROVIDENT FAI - Notably the motto widely used by the NISBET family, lately of Pennard House, Somerset, is FATO PRUDENTIA MAJOR, from whom decadency of the 2nd Baronet is assumed, is either an update or an error made at the time of the tapestry's production.Condition Report Disclaimer

A FLEMISH MYTHOLOGICAL TAPESTRY 'DIANA RESTING' WORKSHOP OF JUDOCUS DE VOS BRUSSELS, EARLY 18TH CENTURY From a larger hanging, depicting the seated goddess resting after the hunt, with an attendant bearing flaming torch, with stitched foldovers to accommodate wall height, with Brussels town mark and signed 'J. DE. VOS' in selvedge approximately 263cm high (with current foldover tuck), 269cm wide overall355cm high (with folds removed) , 269cm wideCondition Report: We have had numerous requests to remove the folds and therefore have elected to cut the stitching and reveal the tapestry in its entirety. Where possible threads have been left in so a would-be purchaser can elect to return the tapestry to its prior folded state.The size with folds removed is approximately 355cm high, 269cm wideThe revealed horizontal panels are darker in colour- but reveal a main scene that looks complete. The suggestion still remains however that this may be a smaller part of a larger example. The areas where stitching for folds have taken place have had pulling to the surface weave- which may require some remedial work. Overall it presents well- but sunlight has dimmed colours such as the brightest yellows/reds/greens but blues are still strong. Reverse backing is later and fixed. The top has later rings for pole hanging- some of which have pulled away.
