About the Item

This is an absolutely exquisite, fine and rare 100% silk Venetian material/ fabric. It has a deep red wine very attractive and luxurious general main color, each border has a floral ornamentation and top and bottom has a little tiny tassels which are a real eye catcher. The fabric is in amazing condition. The purpose of it in the 18th century could have been different but it seems that later on it has been made into a tablecloth. The Venetians were the first Europeans who brought fine silk from China during Marco Polo era and then started making their own fine silk.

French 17th Century Baroque Silk Damask Textile
Located in New York, NY
French 17th century Baroque silk damask textile 2'1 x 5'1. Going for Baroque? Everything is dramatic. Think Caravaggesque paintings. Sculptures carved furniture. Everything is designed to impress. This textile, originally a section of a longer bolt, displays more than one repeat of a bold, complex cartouche and acanthus pattern in yellow-ochre and raspberry-red. The twisting foliage makes it three dimensional. What a great wall piece! You don’t have to be fluent in art history or in the language of period decoration to appreciate this eye-catching object. It is a full loom width and is mounted on board ready to hand. And the furnishing context can be modern. Think of it as another piece of wall candy, like an abstract painting. Condition for a textile of this age is good. The cranberry...
