Fragment of a wall covering of cerise-red silk damask, , 1850 - 1875 Canvas Print
Fragment of a wall covering, of cerise-red silk damask. (In satin, taffeta and twill binding). A strict symmetrical ornament of acanthus leaves straight and circular lines borders two pointed fields lying on top of each other, in which unsymmetric motifs are suspended from a ribbon with a bow; one consisting of a delicate flower basket with naturalistic floral arrangement, the other formed by a mandolin and a tambourine. Intermediate fields of approximately equal size, and staggered with the first, bear an oval medallion with pearl edge, also hanging from tied ribbons, starting at the nodes of the acanthus ornament. The medallions are filled with two crossed horns of plenty. The main ornament is enlivened with fine swinging twigs and symmetrical fields with netting. This fragment comes from the ballroom in the official residence of the mayor of Amsterdam, Herengracht 502, demolished in September 1950.
