A black with gold Napolean III framed toile du jouy.  The linen toile dates from the 18th century and the design come from the "discovery of America" series. Right hand side depicts an angel top blowing a trumpet with soldiers and a horse underneath. A palm tree and a lady holding a child at the right hand side. Red with a white background.

Condition
 
The toile has been left in it's "as found" condition and has a few thin spots in the center of the fabric and in the wing of the agel. There is an area of darkening under the angel due to aging. We decided to leave the toile in uncleaned condition because the aged areas best suited the frame. 
 
Frame is in overall good condition except for a few small places of wear and age related marks.  Nothing I find distracting and only adds to it's charm.
 
The frame didn't have glass in it or a backing so we took it to our local frame shop in Avignon. The glass is new as well as the cardboad and acid free paper added to the back with metal pins to keep it in place.
