Camel Tapestry Desk Pad / Writing Pad, Hines of London (?), Jacquard buying Loom Fine Tapestry with Velvet Sides.

This is a high quality reproduction Victorian tapestry featuring a camel and bird and plant life. The camel design appears to be identical to one produced by Hines of London in both cushions and wall hangings (See https://www.hinesofoxford.com/the-camel-tapestry-6083.html). Although no comparable desk or writing pad could be found online, it is likely that this is an erstwhile Hines of London tapestry writing pad of unknown age. Hines of London imports fine Jacquard Loom tapestries from France.

The highly detailed tapestry is set into a covered desk pad with luxurious green felt sides. The pad measures 28 x 18 inches and it would look wonderful in a Victorian themed reading room or study, or it could be mounted on a wall. It is truly a beautiful and very unique piece and it is in excellent vintage condition with only minor evidence of use and no significant flaws.

Please review listing photos as they document the condition of vintage items better than can be fully described. All items are described as accurately as possible including notable wear or damage (eg buying. chips, cracks, deep scratches, pattern loss etc.). However, items are twenty or more years old and they may have other light wear, consistent with their vintage age and a lifetime of use, that is impossible to detail in item listings (e.g. light scruffs or scratches, pattern fading etc.). I encourage you to ask any questions prior to purchase. At RelicLode, you may return an item, but buyers are required to pay return postage.

All items are shipped in recycled packaging, including reused boxes, whenever possible.
