Secondary Origin Notes
Per a previous cataloguer the embroidery was done 1725-1800. It is unusual to find typical crewel embroidery done in a monotone silk thread. This base valance was probably made between 1929 (date of Port Royal Bedroom installation) and 1950 from fabric that was woven between 1850-1950 and embroidered between 1929 and 1950.
