This contemporary 100% cotton jacquard tapestry by Signare Tapestry depicts Edmund Blair Leighton’s 1901 painting “The Accolade” in a medieval Romantic style and measures 139 × 100 cm.
Description from the seller
Splendid decorative tapestry in jacquard weaving, made of 100% cotton and exclusively selected by GCFabrics.
The tapestry reproduces “The Accolade” (1901), a famous painting by the British artist Edmund Blair Leighton, one of the leading interpreters of romantic medieval-inspired painting.
An exceptionally charming work that celebrates chivalric ideals, honor and nobility of spirit, through a composition rich in elegance, history and suggestion.
The subject
The scene depicts a solemn medieval investiture ceremony.
A young lady with long blonde hair, wrapped in a refined white dress, bestows the title of knight upon a man kneeling before her, brushing his shoulder with a sword.
The knight wears a chainmail hauberk and a precious red surcoat decorated with a heraldic motif, while some figures watch the ceremony in the background.
The richness of the details, the expressions of the protagonists and the contrast between bright tones and deeper ones give the representation a particularly scenographic character.
The entire composition is embellished with an elegant ornamental border in shades of gray and silver, reminiscent of the decorations of ancient European tapestries.
Quality and craftsmanship
Made of 100% cotton with jacquard weaving, this tapestry enhances the pictorial subject through a textile surface rich in details and color nuances.
Unlike a simple print on canvas, the jacquard technique allows the design to be achieved directly through the interweaving of threads, creating a particular visual depth and a pleasant textile texture.
The vertical composition and the refined decorative frame make this tapestry a statement furnishing element with great personality.
