Description
The best Chinese export silk & velvet embroidery, depicting a spread wing eagle below "E PLURIBUS UNUM" banner. The eagle clasping an American flag with 42 stars in front of an anchor above a sea dragon flanking an American shield. Note the predominance of silver and gold threads and the eagle with glass eyes. The frame measures 23 1/2" x 32 1/2". The tapestry is in very good condition - the glass is broken and needs replacement. Based on the 42 star flag in the embroidery, this textile dates from 1890.
