This beautiful picture is by Cash’s, an English ribbon weaving firm since 1846.  Over 100 years ago the Free Trade Bill was passed which put thousands of ribbon weavers out of work and forced them into poverty.  One mill owner began making silk bookmarks and pictures using the same looms and skills needed for ribbon making.  They became popular and collectible are today still sought out for their unique beauty.

This silk details a Swallow bird on what appears to be clay roofing tiles. The detail is remarkable!  

The Art: Framed under glass with a gray-green mat and description on back, ready to hang 

Measures:  The overall  size is just shy of 7” x 5”
