| Bayeux Tapestry Horses The Bayeux Tapestry has preserved the Norman Conquest of England, and the drama of Harold of Wessex and Duke William of Normandy for over 900 years. Usually attributed to William's wife Matilda, the Bayeux Tapestry in fact was more likely commissioned by William's half-brother, Bishop Odo of Bayeux (also Earl of Kent), for display in the Bayeux Cathedral, which was consecrated just eleven years after Hastings. The 231-foot-long tapestry is a Norman document, but the style of the figures sewn in colored wools leads some scholars to believe that Englishmen from Canterbury actually stitched the Bayeux Tapestry. The Bayeux Tapestry was first mentioned in a 1476 inventory of the Bayeux Cathedral. In 1792, French revolutionaries used this historical tapestry as a wagon cover until it was rescued by a local lawyer. Scholars believe two missing panels at the end may have portrayed William on the throne of England. The world famous Bayeux Tapestries are reproduced today by Belgian and French tapestry mills on their jacquard machines and then hand finished. 27” x 76" (69 cm x 193 cm) Includes Tassels, Brackets, Rod with Finals & weighted Inserts $295 NEW |

| Oseberg Tapestry Shows a procession of men & women, horses and wagons. In A.D. 834, the Oseberg ship was used for the burial of a Viking queen. She has been tentatively identified as Queen Åsa, grandmother of Harald Fairhair who united the whole of Norway under one crown in the late 9th century. Queen Åsa was accompanied to her grave by a young Hand-Maiden and all of the appropriate furniture and equipment for continuation of her accustomed life after death. The original tapestry fragments are of unbelievable craftsmanship
and challenged modern resources to replicate. 18" x 36" (45 cm x 90 cm) Includes Rod with Finals and Brackets Tapestry is hung from Loops (not pictured here) $190 Temporarily out of stock
