French tapestry

Category
Vintage Textiles and Clothing
Description

What is this tapestry and what is it worth?

I have an info from Perplexity AI which I do not trust at all.

Perplexity AI:
This appears to be an 18th century French tapestry depicting a noble music or entertainment scene, mounted in an ornate gilt frame

. The tapestry shows elegantly dressed figures in period costumes gathered in an interior setting with architectural elements and decorative details typical of formal 18th century scenes

  • Made with wool and silk, which was typical of high-quality 18th century French tapestries
  • Features detailed weaving showing architectural elements, figures, and decorative patte
  • Shows some age-related wear and fading, which is normal for textiles of this period
  • Appears to be mounted in what may be its original gilt frame
