Fragment van wandbespanning van lampas met tortelduivenpatroon c. 1770 - 1790

This fragment of a lampas tapestry, dating back to the late 18th century, showcases the intricate artistry of Philippe de Lasalle, a prominent weaver of the period. The design features a delicate pattern of stylized flowers and leaves in shades of green and yellow against a rich, crimson background. This example of the French Baroque style demonstrates the detailed craftsmanship characteristic of 18th-century textiles, often used to adorn furniture and interiors. The lampas technique, known for its intricate interlacing of warp and weft threads, creates a captivating visual texture, adding depth and dimension to the floral motif.
