French Toile de Jouy Red and White Textile, Monuments of Paris

Pretty amazing large piece of French Toile. 19th century, possibly dating from the Empire period. With Napoleon Bonaparte on top of the bronze column in the Place Vendome. Also showing Notre Dame and the Pantheon as well as other Paris landmarks. One large piece with two valences.  Circa 1820 - 1829.

Wear consistent with age and use. There is some discoloration and possibly some staining as well as some tears at the edge, expected of a textile this age, but all minor.

The large piece is 11.5 feet by 44-48 inches ( 350.5 cm by 121.9 cm)

Large valence 9.5 (115 in) feet by 17 in (292.1 cm by 43.2 cm)

Smaller 5.75 ft ( 69 in) by 17 in (175.3 cm by 43.2 cm)
