Set of Four Antique Textile Panels

Set of Four Antique Textile PanelsA superbly decorative set of four antique textile panels, embroidered in vibrant colours and gold thread, 23x47 inches each. Possibly Venetian, 19th 20th century. Available as pairs. Why we love them We like the flambuoyance of this exquisite textile, its beautiful texture and gorgeous colours. An impossibly chic addition to a full look or a minimalist interior.

With an arched back and two rows of turned spindles above serpentine arms with scrolled terminals and a solid saddle seat on cabriole legs with pad feet

carved with scrolls and foliage - forms inspired by the English Palladian baroque movement of the first half of the 18th century
