GEORGE WASHINGTON MEMORIAL JACQUARD WOVEN PATRIOTIC SHAWL.

A fine piece of a seamstress art employing embroidery and needlepoint which appears to have started with a linen Jacquard-loomed 19th century memorial to George Washington with central panel that is centered with patriotic shields, eagles and floral motifs which reads “WASHINGTON ELECTED PRESIDENT OF THE FEDERAL UNION MARCH 1789 E PLURIBUS UNUM”. The front panels which have been split, but when closed read “INDEPENDENCE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA JULY 4, 1776”. PROVENANCE: From the personal estate collection of John W. Armiger Jr. CONDITION: Very good to fine overall. Rear panel easily read, though it is white on white. Front panel, from cutting and sewing, letters are missing from text but can still be discerned. Red and green embroidered panel on skirts is very good. Only minor blemishes and reductions. 49055-53 (700-900) – Lot 2084
