The style and colouring is close to an earlier scheme (1853) for the Castle in the Museum's collections (see T.269-1965). Said to have been supplied by the London fringe and tassel maker B.A.Clarke.

Labels and date

British Galleries:
The small ribbon stripe, woven into the edge of a silk fabric, dates from about 30 years later than the larger version. The pattern has been reversed. The re-use of the same pattern and colour scheme shows how French Style remained fashionable for many years. [27/03/2003]
