DELICIEUX ANTIQUE FRENCH SILK BROCADE & DAMASK BEJEWELLED CHATEAU CANTONNIERE c1880
I am now home from my recent truffling trip from Provence and I a starting to list my latest finds. Check back this week to see the treasures. Dating from the late 1800s this is an exquisite antique French silk brocade and silk damask bejewelled portiere / cantonniere valence pelmet that is full of faded grandeur. The silk is in wonderful condit...ion with no deterioration or shattering to the fibres. It is lined with cotton and the edges are trimmed with antique passementerie fringe in co ordinating shades. The green is a silk damask with classical roses acanthus leaves lattice scrolls and foliage. The silk brocade is rich gold ochres with flowers and foliage. There are rows of silver and old gold wire passementerie braid with faceted jewels that catch the light perfectly. The jewels are mounted with gilded clasps. There is the odd one missing but it does not detract. A superb period textile treasure that measures: Width 132cms Depth 56.5cms All the items in my listings, unless described otherwise, are either vintage or antique. They have all had a 'past' life, a history to tell - and this inevitably affects their condition through use and handling. I do my best to make my descriptions as accurate as possible but please do not bid if you are looking for pristine items; you will not find them in my auctions! However, if you are as passionate as me about beautiful time-worn treasures with a history and full faded grandeur then I hope you will enjoy looking through my treasures as much as I enjoy 'truffling' for the finds.
