My vote is for having it professionally framed, too. Try a Michael's with a 50% off coupon for custom framing. I had a very old oil painting done at my local store and it is beautiful - just what I wanted. Your tapestry could be matted with an accent color and then put in a frame to match the owner's decor. Something to cherish for sure - and then you don't have to worry about it buckling up in the middle, etc. They press it and secure it to a type of framing board. Good luck!
