Restoration of 16th-century Derbyshire tapestries ends after 24 years at Hardwick Hall
After a 24-year project, the National Trust has finally finished the restoration of a set of 16th-century tapestries at Hardwick Hall in Derbyshire, the longest such endeavour in its history.
The final tapestry in the set of 13 Gideon tapestries was unveiled on the wall of the long gallery, the culmination of a painstaking effort to clean and hand-stitch the huge pieces one at a time, at a cost of £1.7m.
The enormous works, 6 metres tall and more than 70 metres in length, are considered to be one of the most ambitiously scaled tapestry sets of their time, and were last on display together before the project began in 1999.
Hardwick Hall, an Elizabethan country house situated on a hilltop between Chesterfield and Mansfield, was at one point surrounded by nine coalmines.
