About the Item

The gilded, stylised scrolling foliage design is embossed into the grey leather enhancing the effect of the relief. The eighteen panels were pressed from moulding blocks which were made to recreate an 1850s design by Jacques Dulud, Dulud Studio, Paris. The panels are invisibly joined horizontally and vertically and the hanging is faced with a gilt leather binding made at the same time. Related to: A panel designed by Jacques Michel Dulud and made circa 1850 at the 'Cuirs Dulud' workshop, 14 rue Vivienne, Paris in the V&A Museum No 3714:1, 2-1856 A wall hanging with this identical pattern is hanging in the dining room of Muncaster Castle, Cumbria. See image. The same design is also found on a four-folded screen in the Deutsches Ledermuseum, Offenbach am Main, Germany. This German Leather Museum, is located in Offenbach, Hesse, Germany and is one of the largest leather museums in the world. Offenbach is known as “leather city” in Germany. For centuries, the city across the Main River from Frankfurt was the center of leather manufacturing. There were tanners, shoemakers and saddle and harness makers. Later there were makers of luxury items and, of course, clothing. At one time, more than 10,000 people worked in the industry in Offenbach and the city was, and still is, home to a leather trade fair. Measures: Height 269 cm., 8 ft., 10 in.

French 17th Century Baroque Silk Damask Textile
Located in New York, NY
French 17th century Baroque silk damask textile 2'1 x 5'1. Going for Baroque? Everything is dramatic. Think Caravaggesque paintings. Sculptures carved furniture. Everything is designed to impress. This textile, originally a section of a longer bolt, displays more than one repeat of a bold, complex cartouche and acanthus pattern in yellow-ochre and raspberry-red. The twisting foliage makes it three dimensional. What a great wall piece! You don’t have to be fluent in art history or in the language of period decoration to appreciate this eye-catching object. It is a full loom width and is mounted on board ready to hand. And the furnishing context can be modern. Think of it as another piece of wall candy, like an abstract painting. Condition for a textile of this age is good. The cranberry...
