Circa 1680

good original condition with added top, great patination

A 'Close' stool was actually a polite way to hide your toilet-pot, right in the middle of your living space!
The Aubusson face fragment is the very top left of a wide border for a tapestry of immense size and quality, and also dates to the latter 17th century.
