Furnishing fabric of woven silk. On a white silk ground are slender curving leaves in two shades of green forming elegant ovals which contains three pink fritillary flowers and stylised shapes with arrow-head stamens. The ovals are in staggered rows with three-sided curving figures in white filling the spaces between.
The ground is woven in a fancy twill, with the pattern executed in flush threads, and bound down in a diamond lattice on the petals of the flowers. Unwanted threads are carried in long flushes on the back. A complete length of silk with bands of tabby at the top and bottom.
