By Horrockses, Miller & Co. , Preston ;-
An amazing and most unique survival from the heyday of the Victorian Textile industry. Measuring 23" x 19" x 4" deep. Containing original Cotton samples with descriptive labels. A little rubbed and age-toned but nonetheless a QUITE SUPERB Museum piece ! ( N.B. Buyer collects as the item is very heavy and being glazed would defy posting !)

In 1946 the company started Horrockses Fashions Limited and the Horrockses label was born.
