I got a wondrful little
email from a real expert on Armenian embroidery.
Annotating this text he wrote:
Armenian Embroidery,
An Armenian Embroidery, 17th Century.
Approximately 6 ft. 4 in. by 1 ft. 8 in. (1.93 m
by 0.51 m.)
is not armenian but Moroccan
and I got others similar examples .. for
sure it is moroccan and not armenian. Sotheby's
made a mistake.
I made mistake too ... lol
With my best regards
I hope to see you in next
