A wonderful and unusual fabric-covered frame in 18th century style - very Marie-Antoinette - embellished with ribbon embroidery flowers, silver lace and tarnished gold and silver braid, with a backing of apricot pink silk damask. There is damage to the back of the tapes for hanging it but it is quite robust thanks to the strength of the braid. There is a stiffened braid bow at the top and a silver metal thread tassel.
68cm top to bottom, the oval frame 36cm x 30cm with an aperture of 21cm x 15cm
