A short note from The Connoisseur on a sixteenth-century English tapestry at Sutton Coldfield, attributed to the Sheldon looms at Weston/Barcheston in Warwickshire. It reviews the history of the Sheldon manufactory founded by William Sheldon and Richard Hickes, then describes the piece, about 8 feet square, showing Queen Esther before King Ahasuerus. It traces the tapestry's provenance from Castle Bromwich to Sutton Coldfield and notes its cut borders and damp damage.
