England or France

The attribution England or France designates a provenance or workshop tradition active over an extensive period, spanning more than three centuries, from 1401 to 1745. Given this temporal range, the designation typically refers to a collective body of work or regional style, rather than the output of a single individual artist. The documented works consist overwhelmingly of textile pieces, with fourteen documented fabrics and one other piece represented in museum collections.

These historical works are housed in prominent institutions, notably the Art Institute of Chicago. The preserved objects reflect the diverse functional and decorative uses of textiles from the late Medieval and early modern periods. Specific documented works include functional items such as Girl's Shoe and Shoe, as well as the structural piece Braid. Larger textiles include Panel and the more specific figural depiction Panel with a Scene in an Amusement Park.

These carefully preserved artifacts are documented as high-quality prints and photographs, making the detail of this museum-quality material available. As many historical records enter the public domain, documentation of these works contributes significantly to the study of European textile history.
