This silk is usually found un-mounted, as shown above, and was presumably sold as a loose silk.
The small picture above the Prince is of The Crystal Palace, from the Great Exhibition of 1851, and he was greatly involved in this exhibition. Prince Albert died in 1861, and as there is no mention on this silk of his death, it can be assumed this silk was made between 1851 and 1861. The J & J CASH name is woven on the lower left corner:  |
