Italian Tapestry Screen

Italy, 19th Century

$2,695

Antique Rare Textile One-Of-A-Kind

This one was a piece we almost kept for ourselves. This four-panel Italian screen carries a sweeping pastoral scene across its surface, each panel unfolding like a chapter from a well-traveled storybook. The tapestry’s age is written in its tears, loose threads, and gentle sun-fading, all of which only deepen its authenticity. Originally made to divide rooms and buffer drafts in grand Italian interiors, it still brings tremendous atmosphere wherever it stands. Sylvie uses it as a headboard for a bed, where its layered imagery and worn texture instantly give a bedroom the feeling of a tucked-away European hideaway.

Minor variations from the images may occur unless otherwise noted. All sales are final.

Notes from Sylvie:

The back is a camel colored velvet, while the front has the tapestry, with gold and almost rainbow painted leather around the front edges held in place with metal hardware. Please note: We think the sun-faded stripes color and loose threads only add to its beauty.
