HUGE Antique French Aubusson Panel, Sofa Cover, 76" x 35" with Stag and Hounds pipe Paris' the FrickOne has to ask, is it wrong of me to have $10,000 in lush down filled antique tapestry cushions on my living room sofa? Or similarly, there on the window seat and atop the Sferra bedspread on my bed? You get the idea. And I've still been keep these panels, too. I'm clearing out collected c. 1600 1800s French tapestries of 30 years' serious collecting. I pretty much kept the best ones for myself. This is the stash of a very committed antiques dealer.
