Description
This is a commemorative Woven silk textile depicting Emperor Napoleon III and Empress Eugenie of France. The piece was likely produced for the 1855 Exposition Universelle (World's Fair) in Paris. These silk souvenirs were highly popular at the time as demonstrations of the advanced Jacquard weaving technology used in French textile centers like Lyon. The date 1855 and the manufacturer L.F. Cie (L. Faure & Cie) is woven into the bottom right hand corner. The portraits are framed by a floral heart and the background features a repeat pattern of smaller floral sprigs, a classic Victorian-era aesthetic. Pieces from this specific mill and series were sometimes exhibited at other fairs such as the 1862 Crystal Palace Exhibition in London. The beautiful piece is also professional framed and matted with a green velvet mat and gilded frame. 10.25 x 12.5
