Philadelphia Centennial Exposition Memorial Hall Coverlet

1876, Red and White, Philadelphia Centennial Exposition Memorial Hall Coverlet, Choice Very Fine.
Extremely large 72" x 84" heavy wool, fringed wall tapestry, featuring a design of the Exposition Memorial Hall building at the center surmounted by a figure holding wreaths in both hands, with a pair of armorial eagles at the upper corners, all intermingled amidst a detailed floral-patterned background. "1776-1876" or "CENTENNIAL" is printed at all four borders. The tapestry is quite attractive, woven in red and white thread. A truly wonderful piece in lovely condition.
