Abraham Tapestry described by visitor

“Among others there are, hanging in one apartment, several pieces containing the story of Hagar’s delivery, how Abraham is about to offer up his son Isaac, how Isaac courted, &c. The dress, landscapes, buildings, and the like are in gold, silver, and variegated silks, so artistically worked as though they had been carefully painted with colours.”
