Description
A WW1 silk RFC embroidered cushion cover with a fine French/Belgian lace border.The 26 inch x 26inch (66cm x 66cm) cover would have been made in France where a large cottage industry was producing silk postcards and other souvenirs for troops to send home, this actual silk cover was found in a small damaged card box along with a 1932 dated handwritten note from a Grandmother to her Granddaughter explaining that ''they'' (originally would have been a pair) were given to her many years ago by her Daddy.The Grandmothers surname is ''Heath'' and was living in Barnet so with a little bit of research the identity of the RFC man could be revealed.There is some foxing (dots) present on the silk cover and also some staining to the lacework, plus a central fold, would look wonderful in a wall mounted glazed frame.
