AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Exceptional hand-embroidered textile panel – gold and silver metallic threads, sequins – rich oriental decoration
Description
Magnificent antique decorative textile panel, fully hand-embroidered, remarkable for the extreme richness of its decoration and the exceptional density of its metallic thread work.
The composition, 38 × 38.5 cm without frame, is organized around an elegant central circular medallion with a floral motif, surrounded by scrolls, arabesques and stylized botanical motifs. A wide architectured border completes the ensemble with a succession of richly ornate poly-lobed motifs.
The embroidery shows an impressive variety of techniques and materials: gold and silver metallic threads, cordonnets, twisted metallic threads, sequins and small metallic elements, meticulously fixed to the textile.
Close-up photographs allow appreciation of the remarkable quality of execution: the threads are worked in different directions to create light and relief effects, while the sequins and metallic elements are arranged individually to highlight the motifs.
The metallic elements display an especially interesting antique patina, with gold, silver, bronze and coppery hues. This patina, as well as the small irregularities inherent to a handcrafted piece, reinforce the authentic and decorative character of the ensemble.
The panel is presented in an elegant gold frame, allowing immediate display.
