Abstract
AbstractA set of tapestries, in store at Audley End House since 1979, has recently been returned to the lobby in which they were hung from about 1825. They were made in 1767, but not hung until 1786 in the State Dressing Room on the first floor of the south wing. Toosmall to cover the newly formed room, they were extended by the addition of linen panels painted by the artist Biagio Rebecca. When the State Dressing Room was rebuilt as a library in 1825 the tapestries were re-hung in the lobby beside the Dining Room, cut to fit around a cupboard. The author has elucidated their history from the surviving documents and from the evidence of alteration to the tapestries themselves.
