| Gallery label | 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) |
