Monumental gateway of the Paris World’s Fair 1900 – Staron & Meyer silk

Paris World’s Fair 1900 woven silk souvenir, showing the monumental gateway realised by René Binet.

Made by Staron & Meyer, a ribbons and woven paintings manufacturer based in Saint Etienne. But this specimen already moved further than between different french states : a sticker on backside tells us that it has been framed at the Hendrick Hudson hotel in the New York state, probably during the 30s.
