EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning piece of furnishing silk from the year 1738. Created by an unknown English artist during the 18th century, this exquisite textile measures 56x72 cm and is currently housed in the Leeds Museums and Art Galleries at Temple Newsam House in the UK. The fabric itself features a combination of cut and uncut pile velvet on a satin ground, resulting in a luxurious texture that exudes opulence. Interestingly, this particular silk was also used to adorn a room at Ditchley Park in Oxfordshire, further highlighting its grandeur and popularity during that era. What makes this furnishing silk even more intriguing is its intricate design which represents the Hindu deity Shiva. With its orientalist motifs and rich Indian influences, it serves as both a decorative element and homage to Eastern culture. As we admire this remarkable work of art captured by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back to an era where textiles were not only functional but also served as expressions of beauty and spirituality. This photograph allows us to appreciate the craftsmanship involved in creating such intricate fabrics while providing us with glimpses into historical interior design trends.
