A French or English tapestry fragment

[ translate ]

A French or English tapestry fragment, probably mid-18th century, with a trompe l'oeil drapery flanking a cream ground worked with scrolling branches and flowerheads in the style of crewelwork, approximately 263cm high, 121cm wideCondition Report: The fragment may be one of a suite or pair. Minor wear overall, colours quite well preserved. The top margin has a woollier texture and varies slightly in design and may be associated. The curtain was likely not woven in one piece with the floral backdrop. A portion of the flowers to the lower right side of the panel has come slightly undone to the surface but overall the textile is stable.Below the curtain the weave is darker, but this is probably to give the illusion of shadow.Later lined and backed, some staining to backing.Condition Report Disclaimer
