| Object history | Registered File number 1985/750. The design is similar to a number of others produced by the Silver Studio at the turn of the 19th century. A large percentage of their designs at this time were sold to two French firms, Vanoutryve of Lille and Leborgne of Lannoy and other similar woven cotton jacquards have been identified as their work. The donor is a dealer in late 19th century furniture and removed this cover from a sofa in his possession. |
