Description
This is a masterful display of Zardozi, the ancient art of gold sewing. This antique textile fragment features a complex architectural composition of interlocking diamond lozenges, each bordered by hand-stitched metallic scrolling vines. The central Boteh (paisley) motifs are rendered in high-relief bullion thread and punctuated with turquoise and amber-toned accents that catch the light with every movement. The tapestry is professionally mounted within a deep olive-green mat and encased in a classic gold-leafed frame, echoing the metallic brilliance of the needlework. Measuring 37 inches high, this piece serves as a luminous architectural anchor, bringing a sense of "Old World" luxury and regal history to a formal dining room, primary suite, or grand library. It is a celebration of tactile opulence, where the heavy metallic textures bridge the gap between textile art and jewelry."¨As an authentic vintage artifact, "The Royal Trellis" is presented in its Original Vintage Condition. The textile displays a magnificent, time-earned patina, including a gentle softening of the silk ground and the honest oxidation of the metallic threads. These characteristics are essential hallmarks of its artisanal provenance and handcrafted journey.
