As can be seen, the top of this favour has been folded over so as to contain the pin, and as such it is not possible to see what, if anything, is woven on the reverse of this favour. As such it is not possible to conclusively attribute it to any particular weaver.
Mark Cottrill, in his 2012 self published picture book: The Silk Weavings of William Henry Grant, includes a picture of a favour of H. M. Alexandra (recorded as gb715), which he records as being a GRANT weaving. The overall design of both the favour above and the Alexandra silk are identical, and as such are believed to be a pair from the same manufacturer. |
