Furnishing Fabric
ca. 1705 (made)
| Artist/Maker | |
| Place of origin |
Furnishing fabric of woven silk with a blue satin ground with a bizarre pattern in white silk twill. The vertical repeat is incomplete but two motifs are repeated across the width. They consist of a thistle-like flower leaning diagonally from a swirling leaf. There is a selvedge along the left hand side and evidence of another panel to which this was joined.
