EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning Arab-style wall hanging, circa 1900, showcases the rich and intricate design aesthetics of the late 19th century. The two-tone satin valance, or Roman sheet lambrequin, features gold embroidery that adds a touch of opulence to the piece. The striped wool and silk curtains, known as harem screens or brocatelle drapes, are adorned with a similar gold application, creating a harmonious blend of textures and colors. The croisee style Arabe, or Arabic cross design, is evident in the intricate pattern of the valance, which is further accentuated by the use of a cantonnière drap, or corner drapery, in the same fabric. The drap, or application, meme etoffe, or same fabric, is continued in the form of a tenture murale, or wall hanging, which adds depth and dimension to the design. This exquisite piece is a reproduction of an illustration by Ernest Foussier from his Nouveaux Modèles de Tentures, Decorations de Fenêtres, or New Models of Wall Hangings, Window Decorations, published by E. Thezard Fils, Libraire Speciale d'Architecture, or Special Architecture Bookstore, in Dourdan, France, in 1900. Foussier, a French architect and interior decorator, was known for his innovative designs and attention to detail, making this wall hanging a true testament to the luxury and elegance of the late 19th century interior design scene.
