Produced by Cartwright & Sheldon, this picture shows only a sample of paisley weave, to demonstrate the quality of their work, and this can be seen in the two images above where the design of the weave is displaced.

It is not known when this was produced, although it is assumed to be just before the closure of the Paradise Mill - their home of many years.

The original matt has addition printed below the main title, whereas these words are cover in the over-mounted version:

	Macclesfield Silk Weaving

additional words printed on front of the original matt
 

The overmounted picture has a back label with CARTWRIGHT & SHELDON name
