Servet met Jacobus II van Engeland c. 1685 - 1688

This linen damask table cloth, likely made in the Netherlands for the English court, features a woven design celebrating King James II. The central image is a coat of arms and motto, "Dieu et mon droit" (God and my right), with the intertwined initials J.R. (Jacobus Rex). Surrounding the coat of arms are two images of the king on horseback, two angels, and a border filled with military and religious iconography. This intricate and symbolic artwork, created by an unknown artist, is a rare example of the art of damask weaving and its historical significance in representing royal power.
