An exceptional, mid-18th century, Soho tapesty sample

Woven with a central bunch of flowers and foliage on a red ground. This is contained within an elaborate surrounding architectural stirrup, with surrounding foliage and brightly feathered birds on a dark blue ground. Mounted on acid free board. Soho first half of the 18th century.

Most likely embroidered as a sample for a client
