I dont usually touch items like this but this embroidery which measures approx 27" x 24" and is on a black silky material, is far superior to the normal examples.

Some one has gone to a lot of trouble and spent a lot of time in making this piece of memorabilia especialy on the colours ( flags ) with the use of gold as well as coloured threads.

Will look well framed, why dont I come across items like this to the Kings.

Still having trouble downloading thumbnails, will add some close up of parts of the item when I can

That looks very familiar to one I've seen recently. Do you mind me asking where it came from?

Thanks, Ivan

[Peter Brydon]

Ivan,

It was at a local Antique Fair.

[badger123]

Thanks Peter. Does it look like a rip in the black material has been repaired?

(I have a good reason for asking).

Ivan

[Peter Brydon]

Ivan,

No ,not as far as I can see.

Great looking piece. I try to pick up items like this when found, but that is not very often in that quality.

Next to the top Rose on the right I think Ivan means.

A fold, which also explains why India looks like ndia, the I is hidden in the fold.

Sometimes items of this quality are made for members of the the officers or Sergeants Mess as leaving presents or for the Mess's them selves.
just a thought.

It is a very nice item.
