Textile - 109 cm - 28 cm - Ornamental Embroidery

Antique 19th-Century Burgundy Velvet and Silk Textile Panel

Decorative textile panel combining burgundy velvet and silk, with a central band of intricate abstract ornamental embroidery, framed by gold-tone woven passementerie and finished with long fringes at both ends.

The pronounced wear to the central velvet, contrasting with the better-preserved borders, bears witness to its history of use. Possibly intended as a ceremonial or decorative furnishing textile.

Good antique character with age-related wear, fading and deterioration to the velvet pile and fringes.

Dimensions: 109 × 28 cm (including fringes).
