    Description

    Amazing as I see comparable artwork sold for 00+ yet no bids on mine?
    0 that s telist..again ffered without reserve for 7 days  from Sanibel Island estate from private collection from nonsmoking home
    Saw similar ones SOLD on eBay for 00+. eBay pricing SUGGESTS 0 starting price. We started at far far less.
    Huge 3D 18" wide by 58" tall. Vintage Burmese,we believe ( info appreciated)  Kalaga Embroidered Tapestry Framed Wall Art Wallganging. At least 2  layers of black material on outside border appears to be silk  whilst on each tapestry panel, velvet
    3D not flat 5 Foo or dragon dogs or Oriental lions adorn that s vertical piece. Each is 6 - 6-1/4" - 6-1/2" wide by 9" tall.
    Decorated with glass beads woven into black background.Sewn in sequins. Sewn in seed pearls both white color and painted gold
    Very intricate fancy designs, 5 circular panels within this large 18by 58" long tall Wallhanging.
    Embroidered layers as collars in metallic thread blue, gold, red with embroidered gold on outside..Dark green glass beads woven into tail
    Busy allover patterns are similar, not exactly alike, few variances...Appears to be handcrafted, I could be wrong.
    At least 2 layers thick.Tou can see ya sewing on matte borders..This is how they sewed the beautifully stunned by design panels to this black border
    I saw similar one SOLD on eBay under antiques category for 00+..I feel our starting price is fair.
    Disclosures: On left by 3rd dog panel, material has come tad hand  unsewn about on inside border as well as at bottom left corner. In right side  from top of 2nd dog panel down to almost bottom, extra cut off straight stitch , can see habdstutchung on backside holding it together ..maybe extra ones are sticking out, needs To be trimmed off as feels stitched to panel part. Between 2nd and 3rd dog on left, convex glass bead gone to reveal shiny mirror..overall, slight variations in design applications if embroidery, sewn on beads, thread, sequins but overall quite nice.  ( tells us is not mass produced). Looks like hand sewn due to stitches but some might be machine sewn.don't really know. We normally don't get into offering textile items
    Will be shipped folded up in tissue paper in flat rate priority mail in PLUS appropriate insurance to commensurate with SOLD price..
    Also available for local inspection Wed- Sunday in Fort Myers FL
