From the mid 1800's, woven in the center of France (likely St. Etiènne, the textile capitol of the time), this is a factory sample.  Colors for various parts of this Jacquard weave were being tested for effect, noted on hand-written cards attached to some.  Wool is the fiber used.  This sort of Tapestry-style border was likely meant for decorative edges of walls "papered" with silk, or possibly for bell pulls.
    On a background of ruby red modern velvet-like fabric, it is edged with fine, vintage, French hand-tatted lace which I have hand stitched to the  tapestry.  The frame is a thrifted find.
