Italian, 18th Century, Silk Brocatelle With Crowns And Pomegranates

An early 18th century Italian red silk brocatelle panel woven in silk on a linen ground. A heavy weight embossed panel with raised and large centered design of crowns, pomegranates and floral motif. These were once used as wall coverings and furnishing fabrics and still make highly decorative hangings, they also make very sturdy seat/chair covers.

Condition: Minor rub to the silk and one spot as shown, otherwise in amazing condition for its age. (I’ve taken a few pictures of the backside, easier to see the design.)
