Italian Damask Pieces 1650-1700

These are rather marvellous panels, despite wear and damage. Not sure what has happened but they have been cut from a long hanging. It is now in five beautiful pieces. I feel they would look lovely mounted, when the splits would be less obvious.

Price: £45 | $60 | €50

Ref N°: 69

All are of green/blue silk tabby ground with yellow, which looks gold,  damask pattern of amoroni, shell motifs, sea dragon tails, grotesque animal heads, with side borders.

B - A pair of tulips with chequerboard centres amongst swirling foliage and C scrolls.  9 x 34 in  ; 23 x 60 cm.                                                             £ 45

C - A central face with extraordinary headdress and radiating collar, flanked by sea dragon scaly body and foliage. 10 1/2 x 23 in; 17 x 60 cm.       £ 95
