This antique Italian embroidered panel is a finely handwoven work in wool, showcasing exceptional craftsmanship and decorative richness. Likely dating from the 18th century, the vertical panel features a series of medallion-style portraits set within a scrolling framework of acanthus leaves, florals, and stylized foliage. Each roundel contains a delicately rendered allegorical figure, framed by richly detailed gilt background motifs. The warm, muted tones of gold, ochre, sage, and earth tones are typical of aged vegetal dyes used in historic French weaving traditions. The textile is mounted within a wide, ornate carved wood frame with a deep relief pattern, complementing its historic character. Its tall and narrow format suggests it may have once been part of a larger wall hanging or architectural textile ensemble, possibly used in a formal salon or chapel setting. A rare and elegant example of period Italian textile art.
The frame is new.
