Border Linen Maroon Panel Velvet Description Needlework Sewing Weaving

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable panel from Italy, dating back to approximately 1560. Created by an unknown artist during the 16th century, this antique piece of art is now housed in the prestigious Art Institute of Chicago. The panel's intricate design and exquisite craftsmanship make it a true masterpiece of decorative arts. Embroidered in silk and adorned with gilt and silver metal wrapped on a silk core, this textile marvel features a stunning combination of colors and patterns. The rich golden hues beautifully contrast against the maroon background, creating an opulent visual feast for the eyes. The panel is lined with luxurious silk damask weave and covered with a layer of silk velvet weave over linen plain weave. This meticulous attention to detail adds depth and texture to the artwork, enhancing its overall allure. In this close-up shot, we see a seated male figure meticulously sewing on the fabric. His skilled hands delicately manipulate needlework as he brings life to each stitch. This image not only highlights the artistic process but also provides us with insight into centuries-old techniques that were employed in creating such masterful textiles. As we admire this heritage art piece captured through photography, let us appreciate both its historical significance and enduring beauty that transcends time itself.
