Secondary Origin Notes
This fabric was probably woven in France. This design has a known history of reproduction and reinterpretation throughout the late 18th century and through the 19th century. Previously dated according to its design, c. 1770, this fabric is probably dated to the late 19th century due to the muted color palette and quantity of fabric. (See References.)
