This is quite a rare find to discover a commissioned tapestry with a familial coat of arms that is in good antique condition. The center coat of arms depicts the noble Order of Santiago, more specifically the Carnero Trogner Family of Spain. Hand-woven circa 1650, the large heraldic shield is surrounded by a pastoral village scene, with a thick floral rinceaux border.
CONDITION: Good antique condition. Commensurate age separations, with some small sections that have been rewoven. The white linen lining has been added more recently.
