TAPESTRY FROM THE 1500's

Has anyone watched 'The Tudors'? They had these tapestries all over the walls of Windsor Castle, except that was in the 1500's. This tapestry could well have been one of them because it is from the 1500's. It just leaves me in awe to have been able to not only see this work of art, but to have even touched it, examined  it closely and  seen how it was made. Because people had only very small looms in the 16th C. they would weave small sections at a time, then construct them all together to complete the entire tapestry. Awesome, in the truest sense of the word.  BUT, here's the very best part, you could own this tapestry. I'd say this was about a once in a life time opportunity, Don't miss it!  ...........every man's home is his castle.
