notes: label: Description (Brief)
content: Length of Cheney Brothers Silk Panne Velvet, 1913. A light to medium-weight solid cut pile velvet, with a panne (flattened pile) finish. Silk pile warp in light blue; Probably silk ground warp and weft, in darker blue. (W. 18 in., L. 1 yard.) Subtle strie effect, perhaps from the show-through of the darker ground cloth through the flattened pile. Possibly a millinery or trimming fabric as it is a narrow fabric off the loom.
