This elegant rectangular panel, originating from France or Italy during the 19th century (1800–1900), is a sophisticated example of Victorian-era textile weaving. Measuring 24 inches by 12 inches (61 cm x 30 cm), the piece is crafted from a rich blend of cotton, silk, and metal threads. The design features a rhythmic staggered repeat of lush floral bouquets—alternating between deep rose pink and steel blue—each framed by delicate green foliage and scrolling gold-colored vines.
Interspersed between the main floral motifs are smaller, stylized woven baskets and floral sprigs, creating a dense and luxurious surface pattern against a luminous cream ground. The panel is finished with a substantial metal-thread fringe that encircles the entire perimeter, featuring a scalloped, open-work lace pattern. This metallic border adds a significant textured contrast to the smooth silk and cotton brocade. Despite its age, the textile remains in excellent condition, with the vibrant colors of the embroidery and the structural integrity of the fringe well-preserved.
