This fabric is the result of a remake in a contemporary style of period embroidery from the late Baroque period. It retains from the original the idea of decoration applied to large expanses of colour on the ground, a rich silk satin. The foliage pattern is embellished with the shimmering effects of the colours and the vividness of the weft. A sophisticated palette, rich in neutrals, brightened by the red and illuminated by the yellow.
