Item Details.
From England and dating from the early 19th century two rare long panels of hand painted and stencilled silk velvet.

Depicting passion flowers, Rosa & lillium in indigos, ochres and greens.

Theorem stencil, sometimes also called theorem painting or velvet painting, is the art of making stencils and using them to make drawings or paintings on fabric or paper.

A vogue for theorem stencil painting began in England at the turn of the 18th century and through the mid-1800s. The art was first taught to women in academies and boarding schools throughout colonial New England. It continued to be taught into the mid-1800s in many other areas.

It’s unusual to find such large examples of this art and am thrilled to be able to be able them here!

The price quoted is for ONE panel.


Measurements:
Each panel:
190 x 15cm


Condition: Very good for a textile from this era. Some age marks and darker marks commensurate with age and which are part of the textiles history and do not detract from the overall loveliness of the panels.
