Ciel de Lit, 18th Century

About the Item

Also known as a baldacchino, baldaquin, or baldachin. It showcases intricate craftsmanship with gilded metallic elements. The decorative motifs include festooned garlands, floral patterns, and beaded embellishments. Its triangular fringe features repeating ornate designs that enhance its grandeur, suggesting a neoclassical influence. The metallic finish and large scale indicate it may have originally been part of a grand hall or estate. The use of heavy, detailed ornamentation reflects the opulence of 18th-century aristocratic interiors.
