GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
In 1985, the Dallas Museum of Art's textile holdings experienced remarkable growth with the addition of The Wendy and Emery Reves extensive decorative arts collection. The Reves textile collection includes European vestments, bed coverings, velvets, silk fabrics, and laces, as well as carpets from Spain, Turkey, Egypt, and India. 

Panels such as this one were used as wall coverings, bed and window hangings, and for upholstery in the Louis XIV and Régence periods in France.
