The Astonishing Price of Saving 18th-Century Tapestries

🏡 Help Restore the Peacock Tapestry! We’re raising funds to restore an 18th-century Brussels tapestry, part of Mapperton’s historic collection. Featuring a vibrant peacock, fountain, and boy riding a fish, this masterpiece has suffered centuries of wear and tear. With your support, we can preserve its beauty and legacy for future generations. Donate here: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/juliejmontagu Every donation helps, and exclusive rewards are available for supporters, including a digital certificate, postcards, limited-edition prints, and an embroidery kit designed by the Royal School of Needlework.
