Meandering lace borders are intertwined with furry meanders, simulating leopard skin in black and cream silk. The pink textured ground is woven in the cannellé structure. There are two repeats in the width of the material. The panel once formed part of a dress which had been altered later. \r\n\nThe cannellé ground is distinguished by horizontal ribs formed by the floats of an additional, flushing warp. Each flushing warp floats over 11 threads and is bound by the next three. The pattern is entirely brocaded. The ground of the lace meander is brocaded with red silk and the flowers in white silk and white silk frisé. The furry meander is carried out in several shades of buff silk and black. The brocaded wefts on the furry meander only are bound in 3/1 twill. Selvage is 0.375 inch wide, 0.19 inch plain pink tabby and 0.19 inch composed of 8 yellow silk cordonnets.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Unknown","id":"A1848"},"association":{"text":"","id":""},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"silk (textile)","id":"AAT243428"}],"techniques":[{"text":"weaving","id":"AAT53642"},{"text":"brocading","id":"AAT53648"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Brocaded silk","categories":[{"text":"Textiles","id":"THES48885"},{"text":"Clothing","id":"THES48975"}],"styles":[{"text":"rococo","id":"AAT21155"}],"collectionCode":{"text":"T&F","id":"THES48601"},"images":["2020MM5733"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"38A","id":"THES49826"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Panel of dress","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Lyon","id":"x29500"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":"probably"}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1760-1765","earliest":"1760-01-01","latest":"1765-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[{"object":{"text":"Circ.502-1962","id":"O112662"},"association":""}],"creditLine":"Given by Mrs R.

The pattern is similar to dated silk designs in the V&A collections, from the firm of L. Galy, Gallien et cie.\r\n\r\nOn the whole silks of this type were made by master weavers in small urban workshops to orders from merchant manufacturers. Weavers were unlikely to mount their looms unless they had an order of at least three dress lengths worth. \r\n\r\nGiven to the Museum by Mrs R. W.
