We found this superb decoration in a catalog of samples from David company, active from 1848 and which stopped its activity around 1960.
The back of the decoration is glued to the cardboard board, we did not want to remove it completely, but we can see that the back is in red morocco.
The quality of production is absolutely superb. Exceptional find. Only one sample for sale.
