About this work

Napkin of linen damask with the Battle of Turin. Central field: the symmetrical pattern shows from bottom to top three scenes. 1 In the center stands a victor on two defeated enemies. Around them fallen enemies and a standard with the German imperial eagle. Standing are the flags with the St. Andrew's Cross and the Bourbon lilies. 2 Cannons are pointed at the city of TURYN and are fired on command. 3 Three round coats of arms of the coalition England, the German Empire, and Savoy are connected by a ribbon and stand above two palm leaves. In the center a fleur de lis, on the side the crowned thorned St. Andrew's Cross with flint and steel, the Golden Fleece, and the crowned monogram PV (Philips V). Woven 1707. Standing and lying borders: symmetrically doubled volute leaves with some flowers. Around: block border.
