This exquisite rectangular panel, originating from Western Europe during the mid-19th century (1840–1870), is a refined example of mid-Victorian textile luxury. Measuring 15 inches by 9.5 inches (38 cm x 24 cm), the piece is constructed with a luminous cream ground featuring two mirrored floral medallions. These central motifs are intricately woven with satin and metallic thread brocade, depicting stylized tulips and scrolling acanthus leaves in soft pinks, muted greens, and shimmering gold.
The panel is defined by a substantial primary border, approximately 2 inches wide, predominantly composed of dense metallic thread brocade in a repeating circular lattice pattern. This is further finished with a secondary outer edging of laced metallic thread, providing a delicate, open-work silhouette. The reverse is backed with a gold-colored satin or silk, which provides both structural integrity and a rich tonal contrast. While the piece remains in good condition, there is slight staining visible on the light cream background, typical for silk-based textiles of this age.
