I have an old silk tapestry with the letters D'. DAP, Coomans.
There are also two letters on the far right side that read " NF" 
I'm searching for any data on this artist or his/her work. It appears
to be very old, made of FINE VERY THIN silk floss and embroidered.

Are you sure it is DAP? 

I have located several 19th century artists with this last name, but
none is called "DAP" (the closer I could find is someone, who's name
might have been signed as JPO Coomans).

In any case, the best I could give you, given the fact that I have
neither seen the paitings, nor the signature, is general information
on the possible worth of such pieces, and on places where you could
get them evaluated.
