Item of the week: a Venetian evening...

I often say that textiles are to the home what flowers are to the garden... I can't remember if I'm the proud "inventor" of that sentence or if I read that somewhere, but anyway, I really believe this to be true.


Well, I love colorful flowers, and then, I also love colorful textiles. And if like me, you prefer them antique, I think that you could be pleased by that lovely tapestry panel!












This week, I'll be speaking about an item that you can find for sale in my eBay listing (http://myworld.befr.ebay.be/ben.de.papignies). It is a piece of antique tapestry with colors that are just faded "à point"! Gosh, I love it!

It depicts an evening scene at Venise and is full of glamourous details! Look at these clothes, at all these peoples! Some are dancing while others are taking place in gondolas. The sky is dark and the moon high above them. Chinese lanterns are lit and look at these opulent loads of flowers. You could almost hear the music that that minstrels sitting on the balustrade is playing...


I guess that you understand why that item is now my "item of the week"! If not, here are some more pictures. 
 




  Will you be its new proud owner?
