  1.  @bigredc222  Tapestries have been cut down & been reused for centuries. Fabric with localized wear or damage is often reused being too good to discard. The patina of age old that fabric has doesn't hurt either.

  2. I'm guessing tapestries cut up for upholstery were already damaged and more use in pieces than as a whole.

  3. Doubting the cut-up tapestries were in pristine condition; they were probably partially damaged and not really ia a fit state for display before being cut up. There are many chopped up tapestries out there - hanging on a wall for centuries is hazardous!

  4. Tapestries suffer with time and frequently end up being cut up & re-used, it's been going on for centuries.
