I have a 4 ft tapestry of unceretain age/condition/value---I need help knowing wht to do with it. I have a file of the best pics I could get of the images and the letterings--there is a square red seal at the end of the lettering.

Mike,

Your dark photos do not allow seeing what's going on here. Please take photos in light, without flash. Consider a photo of the whole piece, close-up of where you say there is a seal, preferably without the auto-imprint's covering it, and at least one of the back of the textile.

Please give dimensions (height x width).

Is this mounted on something?

Best regards,
Judy

Date 1914 or 1974, Ist Month (which could be either January or February). Next earlier date would be 1854, which I doubt.
Seal reads: first Character - "Wang", second character - need a clearer pic.
