Description from the seller
This sumptuous silk lampas, crafted with remarkably precise loom designs, stands out for its refined ornamental weave in perfect rocaille style. Garlands of flowing leaves and decorative perlage frame elegant baskets filled with flowers, in a harmoniously repeated composition evoking the splendor of the eighteenth century. The design, created using a relief technique, is rich in sculpted details that lend depth and movement, enhancing the light in every facet.
High-end pure silk lampas fabric, 140 cm wide. The surface is smooth and luminous, while the decorative motifs are created with a loomed weave that adds texture and structure. The hand is compact yet supple, with a regal drape. This fabric combines artistic beauty and excellent technical performance, making it ideal for prestigious furnishing applications.
Perfect for wall hangings, screens, antique seat covers, draped curtains, or headboards. Also ideal for decorative panels or dramatic details in classical settings, historic theaters, furniture boutiques, or charming residences. The regular pattern allows for elegant cuts even on small surfaces, such as cushions, valances, or matching slipcovers.
During the eighteenth century, similar designs were produced in the most famous European textile workshops, commissioned by royal courts. In particular, stylized flower baskets were a symbol of prosperity and kindness. It is said that a reception room in the Ducal Palace of Mantua was entirely decorated with a similar fabric, chosen to accompany the masked balls of the Carnival season, as it reflected the candlelight enchantingly.
This lampas represents a perfect balance between formal elegance and decorative poetry. A striking fabric, capable of transforming any space into a place of historical memory and timeless beauty.

Ironing: Iron the fabric at a low temperature, preferably with a cotton cloth on top, to avoid direct contact with the iron and to keep the surface of the fabric impeccable.
Professional cleaning: If used on furniture coverings or large surfaces, professional dry cleaning is recommended for safer and more durable maintenance.
