PAIR 17th Century Antique French Wool Tapestry Panel Fragments for Opulent Throw Pillows
Oh, the color palette! Splendid pair of panels dating to 17th century, early woven tapestry salvages from border panels of a huge wall tapestry. I'm uncertain if Aubusson or French, or Flemish tapestry. These are restored, ready to make up into spectacular decorator throw pillows. As you can see, each of these 2 rectangles consist of panels which as noted, are salvaged border strips (see rust-colored edging. Each one perfectly compliments the other. One a single panel, and the other is nicely jointed in center. You need only decide which color heavy silk or velvet to back them with, and how lush you wish to go with your fringe, passementerie, or corner tassels. All of the top decorator magazines are showing pillows and wall hangings of these tapestries, Aubusson, Gobelin, Flemish, etc., even in the most modern interiors. I have collected the finest panels for 30+ years, always sure I'd have time to make them all up into fabulous pillows, and find I am short of time, so here you go. Ful
