Tapestry from Bantry House in County Cork goes on show in Aubusson, where it was once made!

Newspaper Article b Autocorrected

At the end of May I went over to Bantry House in County Cork to assist with the taking down and packing for transport of a lovely tapestry with a great story attached.  This 18th century tapestry was woven at Aubusson in France for Marie-Antoinette, possibly as a wedding gift by Louis XV. It is going on exhibition in the Tapestry Museum in Aubusson from June to October 2013.
