Top of bed or tablecloth embroidery Richelieu and Bourbon 19th century
Detailed description:

Bourbon embroidery is known for its delicate patterns, often rich in floral details. It highlights techniques of fine embroidery, and executed in relief in complex points.
Roses, symbols of elegance and refinement, form the central motif and the main accents of this piece.
The bourbon embroidered palmettes are used as complementary ornaments and evoke symmetry and harmony.

The Putti, these little angels or cherubs often represented in the art of the Renaissance and Baroque, symbolize innocence, joy and bliss.
Their placement around a square in the center of the tablecloth draws attention and creates a delicate and harmonious focal point.
The Putti, forming a continuous frieze on the edges all along, bring a decorative unit. This choice evokes luxurious textiles where every detail is carefully thought out.

The Richelieu embroidery, also called openwork embroidery, is present on the decoration of the bed top to enhance delicate and elegant patterns and a subtle play of transparency and texture. You can insert a coloured fabric underneath to bring out the patterns.

The combination of Bourbon and Richelieu embroidery techniques attests to a sought-after craftsmanship and visual richness.
The use of roses and Putti indicates a refined craftsmanship and a preference for detailed and delicate ornaments.
This bedspread represents a remarkable fusion of techniques and styles, illustrating the refinement of textile art in the 19th century. A real treasure for embroidery and history lovers!
This bed top of this nature would be intended for a luxurious room to receive your guests.
The top of the bed, which can serve as a tablecloth to decorate a nice table, has been washed and ironed, ready to be used.
