Hi! I'm planning a trip to Great Britain and have always been curious about this tapestry from my grandparents. Is anyone familiar with the language or symbols? Or perhaps it's just a beautiful woven piece. TIA! -Susie

The upper right appears to be Arabic. Looks similar to the one in this link..says something like "there is no God but Allah". Scroll way down till you see, "Writing on rug"

Thank you so much for for your help and your expertise. Certainly a direction I would never thought to research!

I just spent some time and the symbols look exactly the same! Wow!
