An original antique French textile design.

Produced in Lyon when the city was a center for silk manuafacture.

Size of surround: 42.5 x 33 cms or 16 3/4 x 13 inches.
Condition: Very Good. The design has been removed from its original backing, repaired using archival tape and remounted on vintage paper using a very small amount of glue so it is possible it could be carefully removed if preferred. The glassine paper on which it is painted is lightly creased. There are two district creases across the piece; one across the center and one from the right hand edge at the bottom to the right hand side of the top edge. Then painted surface remains fresh.
