| Place of origin |
Furnishing fabric of block printed cotton velvet. The design shows an Indian pattern of roundels of two palmette type stylised plants, alternately repeated vertically and horizontally. Each motif is surrounded by a curving leafy stem and there are flower buds at the intersections of the roundels. The pattern is printed in shades of green and orange with dark brown outlines on a mid orange/brown ground.
The blocks for this textile were cut for a wider cloth than this as the pattern continues over both selvedges.
