Jacquard Silk Fragment – Early 19th Century, Floral Design

Jacquard silk fragment – Early 19th century

An elegant jacquard silk fragment dating from the early 19th century, featuring a refined design of alternating fine stripes and delicately woven floral bouquets.

The composition, of great finesse, plays on the alternation of pearl-gray satin bands and braids in shades of soft pink, sky blue, olive green, black, and gold, creating a harmonious rhythm of remarkable elegance. The small, stylized floral bouquets, inspired by neoclassical taste, lend softness and lightness to the overall design.

The Jacquard weave reveals the full richness of the craftsmanship of early 19th-century French silk mills, where the precision of the design blends with the subtlety of the colors.

Preserved in excellent condition, this precious fragment will appeal to collectors of antique textiles as well as interior designers. It can be displayed in a frame, incorporated into a cabinet of curiosities, or used as a reference for the study of historical fabrics.

Dimensions: 83 × 66 cm.

Very good condition. The colors have retained all their delicacy and vibrancy.
