An 19th Century annotated textile design.
Red berries and bronze leaves on a black ground. Green stripes in circles.
Dated April 1838.
Medium: Gouache.
The design has been backed onto paper, then fixed onto an antique paper surround.
Size of design: 24 x 18.5 cms or 9 1/2 x 7 3/8 inches.
Size of surround: 42.5 x 32.5 cms or 16 3/4 x 12 3/4 inches.
Condition: Very Good. The black surface of the design is flecked with shadowy spots. This most noticeable if the design is tipped at a certain angle. There are pink marks in the striped circle at the top left. The design is otherwise fresh and clean. The annotated strips at top and bottom are slightly grubby; marked with blue at the top edge.
