The magnificent silks which have been lately produced
by Messrs. Frainais and Gramagnae, of 82, Rue Riche-
lieu, Paris, are of a kind peculiarly their own ; and their
patterns, whether for stuffs of the richest or the plainest
material, aro not to be met with at any other house.
We have found in the warehouses of this firm a large
and varied selection of goods of every description, of
excellent quality, and at extremely low prices. We
were pleased to hear that the first specimens of these
very beautiful fabrics were purchased by her Majesty
Queen Victoria, • •
