About the Item

Authentic 19th Century Velvet Tapestry Featuring Heraldic Coat of Arms Velvet has long been cherished for its luxurious texture and rich hues, making it a preferred fabric for ceremonial and decorative purposes. During the 19th century, velvet tapestries were often used to showcase heraldic emblems, signaling nobility, lineage, or allegiance. This exquisite tapestry fragment exemplifies the opulence and craftsmanship of the era, likely serving as a decorative or commemorative piece within a prestigious setting. At its heart, this tapestry features a striking coat of arms, with a shield adorned by three diamonds, each elegantly detailed with fleur-de-lis motifs in the center. Flanking the shield are two regal lions, depicted as guardians, holding flags that signify protection and honor. Completing this intricate composition, a crown rests atop the shield, symbolising authority and lineage. The tapestry has been carefully framed to preserve its intricate details. Despite gentle wear from age and past folding—visible in the subtle variations across the surface—it remains in remarkably good condition for its era. The vibrant shades of green on a natural background have been beautifully preserved, offering a vivid glimpse into the artistic prowess of its time. While the specific family associated with this coat of arms remains unknown, the piece stands as a testament to the heraldic traditions and artistic excellence of the 19th century, making it a valuable addition to any collection. Condition Report The tapestry is in very good condition considering its age and historical significance. It displays light wear consistent with natural aging and previous handling.
