4th Set Of Second Empire-style Castle Curtains In Gold Silk And Linen, 352 Cm High

A rare and elegant pair of castle curtains dating from the Second Empire period, crafted from a sumptuous blend of silk, linen, and metallic threads, featuring a lavish floral design inspired by the grand 19th-century upholstery fabrics.

The luminous gold background is embellished with a woven design of flowers, foliage, and stylized pomegranates in shades of brown, caramel, dusty pink, and garnet red. The quality of the weave, the richness of the patterns, and the subtle shimmer of the metallic threads give this set a remarkable decorative presence.

This pair is part of a set of four identical pairs originally from a prestigious residence. The other pairs are for sale on this website. The curtains are fully lined and retain a few original hanging rings at the top.

They come with their superb original trimmings, including matching tiebacks and tassels. The set is in very good condition. A simple dry-cleaning will fully restore the fabrics’ luster. The only issue to note is a tieback holder with a slight weakness that has no major impact.

A high-quality decorative piece, ideal for a castle, a bourgeois residence, a mansion, or a classic and refined interior design project.
