Whilst these silks were usually sold as loose silks, the image above is of the silk mounted and framed in a contemporary frame.
The small picture above the Prince is of The Crystal Palace, from the Great Exhibition of 1851, and he was greatly involved in this exhibition. Prince Albert died in 1861, and as there is no mention on this silk of his death, it can be assumed this silk was made between 1851 and 1861. The J & J CASH name is woven on the lower left corner:  |
