San Leucio. Italy. Precious double silk bedspread. - Renaissance Style - 100% Original San Leucio Silk.
Very fine silk bedspread richly decorated with floral motifs. Damask fabric is finished on three sides with a large fringe. Powder blue colour. The fabric is well preserved, without tears, with very few signs of ageing as shown in the last two photos. From inheritance. Probably made between the late 1800s and early 1900s.
In 1800, San Leucio was a city known worldwide as one of the most illustrious textile schools. The silk fabrics produced in San Leucio were exported all over the world and have been used to furnish the Vatican, the White House and Buckingham Palace.
Some pictures do not show the true colour of the bedspread due to the reflection of the light on the shiny silk. Powder blue/grey colour.
Dimensions: 205 x 260 cm, with fringe sewn on 3 sides.
The photos complement this description.
