Description from the seller
Vintage Velvet- chenille Cov erlet for King Bed with Relief - Putti and Garlands Motif - Sicily, 1940s/1950s
Splendid specimen of an aged king-size bedspread, coming from a prestigious Sicilian dowry from the mid-20th century (ca. 1940-1950). This piece represents the excellence of Southern textile craftsmanship of the era, featuring a chenille worked in a 'punto riccio' (curl stitch) with a three-dimensional effect of strong visual impact.
The design is clearly inspired by neo-baroque motifs:
Center: At the heart of the composition we find a scene depicting finely executed putti (cherubs), a symbol of love and prosperity.
Frame: The central scene is surrounded by lush garlands of roses and raised floral motifs.
Colors: The color palette is remarkably preserved, with vibrant tones of coral red, orange, pink, and sage green on a cream background, capable of imparting warmth and light to any classy bedroom.
Dimensions
Standard for a king bed (220x220 cm).
Conditions and Seller Notes
The bedspread is in overall excellent condition regarding the central body and color vibrancy; the chenille is intact and soft.
A important note about the tassels: The outer fringe (trim) appears deteriorated in several spots due to time (see photos). For a perfect restoration and everyday use at a high level, replacement of the outer fringe is recommended—a simple intervention that would restore the piece to its original splendor.
The item will be packed with maximum care and shipped with tracking.
For buyers resident outside the European Union (Extra-EU): Any duties, import taxes, or customs clearance fees are the sole responsibility of the buyer.
Such costs are not included in the auction price nor in the indicated shipping costs and will be charged by the competent authorities or the courier at the time of delivery.
It is advisable to check in advance the current regulations in your country to avoid unexpected costs.
