IMPORTANT PAINTED FABRIC: "NOBLE IN CEREMONIAL DRESS, 19th C - Lot 222
IMPORTANT PAINTED FABRIC: "NOBLE IN CEREMONIAL DRESS, 19th CENTURY" Painted wool pieces in the style of the Royal Windsor Manufactory, featuring the typical color palette of the Victorian era, with ochre, gold, and blue hues that are highly characteristic of the dyes used in the late 19th century to imitate medieval pieces. The tapestry’s subject echoes the works of Herbert Bone, who created designs that served as guides for the weavers. A coat of arms appears in the upper left corner, reminiscent of the “House of Grimaldi.” The presence of the “Monaco” coat of arms on this tapestry can be explained by the history and business model of the Royal Windsor Tapestry Manufactory (1876–1890). Dimensions: approx. 282 x 395 cm. In its current condition, small areas are unstitched, with traces of moisture. The Windsor manufactory, operating under the high patronage of the British royal family (Queen Victoria and her son Prince Leopold), worked exclusively for the high nobility, European royal families, and wealthy collectors of the Victorian era. It was customary for the workshops to use an existing artist’s sketch and, upon commission, incorporate the buyer’s coat of arms into a corner to personalize the work.
