Glass Beads and Fine Silk Embroidery, Spring Garden, Fragment for Wall Panels.
Ask the supplier to show the interior
We present to your attention a description of a unique interior design project, executed using a rare and luxurious technique that was known in the 17th century as “French wallpaper.” This work is a modern embodiment of historical craftsmanship, inspired by the world's only full-scale interior, presented in the Glass Cabinet of the Chinese Palace in Oranienbaum.
Name of technique (historical): “French wallpaper.”
Essence of technique: Combination of hand embroidery with silk threads and three-dimensional decoration with glass beads.
Description of the product:
This fragment is part of a large-scale interior panorama designed to decorate the walls of a bedroom and recreate the atmosphere of a blooming garden.
Hand embroidery with silk: The image is created using the finest silk threads, skillfully woven together in hand embroidery. The silk satin stitch gives the pattern delicacy, play of light, and depth, creating a backdrop for the floral motifs of a blooming garden.
Decoration with glass beads: The uniqueness of the work lies in the use of the smallest glass beads. Each glass bead is sewn into the fabric by hand, creating a unique texture and shimmering effect. When the lighting changes, the glass beads begin to “play,” imitating the glistening dew on the leaves or the radiance of sunlight, giving the garden a lively, magical appearance.
Interior application: The product is designed as an insert in a wall panel, allowing it to be seamlessly integrated into a classic or modern bedroom interior, creating the feeling of being immersed in a luxurious garden.
Historical reference:
The technique was inspired by the legendary Glass Cabinet in the Chinese Palace in Oranienbaum. There, 18th-century panels, made by serf craftswomen based on drawings by an Italian artist, combine silk embroidery and glass beads. The presented product revives this forgotten luxury, offering an exclusive museum-quality interior item.
This is not just a tapestry, but an object of applied art, combining labor-intensive hand embroidery with silk and a unique technique of working with glass beads. It will bring an atmosphere of refined luxury, historical chic, and unique radiance worthy of imperial palaces to your bedroom interior.
