Dimension : 217 X 175 cm
Bold design of eagle medallions between
interlocking leaves, very well drawn, well known, and frequently
published in many books, with nice compositional details and a well
drawn outer white ground "running dog" border. The position of the
highly stylized dragons is uncharacteristic. More normally they are
found between each leaf system.
Technique : weft float brocading with very fine
Z2S wool
Warp : Wool, white, Z3S
The colors are vivid and natural. Madder red and
perhaps some aniline, brownish red, pink, light yellow, bluish green,
light and dark blue, light and dark brown, white.
Age: probably last quarter of the nineteenth
century
Very good condition.
