Help identifying an italian antique
« on: May 17, 2012, 01:49:50 am »
Hey, as my area of experties is of chinese antiques, i have came across this beautiful wall painting (sewing work)
it is from italy, i have been told its from about the 17-18th Century,
The guy who sell it, told me the maker name was: Arazzo Barberini,
i have been looking on the interent for the maker, but couldnt find any information.
it has 12 colors, the measurements are quite huge, its 230 cm x 210 cm
is there anyone who can evaluate this piece for me? or know anything about the maker? so i can get more information?

Welcome to the forum , Qianlong .

I'd suggest that you check out 'The Barberini Tapestry workshop' (Rome) data available online .... tons of data available !
