Object history | Registered File number 1992/524. This flounce, which contains the arms of the Hapsburg family, may have been commissioned to celebrate a birth, but in each repeat of the pattern the cradle under the canopy has been altered with a flower motif applied in place of the baby. The shield under each left hand angel, surmounted by an Electoral Bonnet signifying a member of one of the German Electoral families, has similary been replaced. |
