Venetian Tapestry Brocade

A Design Steeped in History

Quite different from the Portuguese and Verona styles but akin to the Aragon, the design’s layout is linear, pointing to its Venetian origins. Venetian artists of the 15th century often reproduced patterns found in the classical architecture of ancient Rome, as seen in the works of Andrea Mantegna and in wood carvings and inlaid marble.

Rich Symbolism and Artistic Influence

The presence of the Griffin in the tapestry is significant. In medieval Christian art, the Griffin symbolized Jesus, adding a layer of profound meaning to the already intricate design.

Why It’s Above and Beyond Normal Fabrics

Unmatched Craftsmanship: The intricate design and meticulous craftsmanship are evident in every thread, making it a true masterpiece. Woven by a small private weaver, the attention to detail and quality make it clear that it is very special at first glance.

Historical Significance: The design’s roots in Venetian art and classical architecture add a depth of historical and cultural significance.

Luxurious Feel: The texture and quality of the brocade are unlike anything you’ve ever felt, offering a tactile experience that ordinary fabrics simply can’t match.
