The fabric in this display originated from a chair that originally covered a chair belonging to Robert E. Lee. It was found in an old envelope noted, "General Robert E. Lee, button and material from his rocking chair which he presented to his friend Stanton...Grosse Isle."

Lee and was his Godchild. He moved to Grosse Isle, Michigan in 1880 and became a farmer. The chair in the photo is not the chair that this fabric originated from. 11" x 14", gray mat with red trim. Fabric piece, which measures approx. 1" x 1/2" and includes a button covered by the fabric, is displayed in a small magnified box and includes certificate of authenticity. Unframed. [ld] [ph:L]
