This damask tablecloth, woven in the Netherlands around 1708, commemorates the capture of Lille by Prince Eugene of Savoy in 1708 during the War of the Spanish Succession. The intricate design, woven in white on white, depicts the city of Lille, the prince on horseback, and a scene of soldiers firing cannons. This piece reflects the fashion for commemorating historical events in textile design.
