At the top there is a rare thing to find the 'chef de piece' or the makers mark in this case J.Meillier et Cie de Beautiran.
This piece was originally used as a bedcover, there is a pink trimmed scalloped detail going across where the foot of the bed might have been.
Some small tears and repairs to the side of the panel
