Italian Hanging Early 17th c

A very attractive long length which would look good as a runner on a piece of furniture or to use as a hanging.  It just needs a piece of velcro sewing to the back. Great design.

I think the double cording edging is in fact very tight embroidery . It does not appear to be applied, but worked onto the red silk.

Price: £750 | $1,000 | €870

Ref N°: 8815

The red silk ground appliqué with blue and caramel silks outlined in silk cord which resembles gold.

Applied to a dark blue velvet ground with old gold braid, two ends with gold fringing ,lined in crimson sateen cotton.

 Appliqué  6ft 7 in x 9 in; 2m x 23 cm

The velvet 7ft 4 in  x 17 1/2 in; 2.25m x 45 cm

Upright repeat 12 in; 30 cm

The creamy silk between the cording has disintegrated in the main, but actually it does not detract from the overall look. There are a few areas where the crimson silk ground has slightly shredded, but very small and hardly noticeable.  The sea green velvet has a few marks, but hey this is early 17th century!
