All auctions / Carpets, Rugs & Textile / Royal Gallery of the Illustrated Lions - Upholstery fabric - 3 m - 2.8 m
This extraordinary fabric presents itself as a true textile art gallery, where elegant portraits of lions come to life inside richly ornate decorative frames. On a deep, enveloping burgundy background, painterly compositions inspired by great classical portraits alternate, reinterpreted with an original and scenographic touch. The lions, depicted in period clothing, crowns, armor, and noble poses, evoke an aristocratic and theatrical imagination. The golden frames, both oval and rectangular, create a dynamic, refined rhythm, while the slightly decorated background adds depth without weighing down the whole. The result is a fabric rich in detail, capable of capturing the gaze and telling a story with every glance. Made from certified organic cotton Oeko Tex Standard 100, this fabric combines aesthetics and responsibility. It is free of harmful substances, safe for health, and environmentally friendly. The surface is compact and durable, ideal for upholstery, yet pleasant to the touch. The high-definition print enhances every detail, from the expressions of the subjects to the nuances of the frames, maintaining intense and brilliant colors over time even with frequent use. Perfect for upholstering armchairs, sofas, and important seating, this fabric transforms any piece of furniture into a unique work of art. Also ideal for decorative cushions, stage-like curtains, wall panels, or bed headboards with strong visual impact. It lends itself particularly well to eclectic environments, creative studios, showrooms, or spaces where you want to insert a distinctive, narrative element capable of surprising. In the past, noble houses liked to display galleries of portraits to celebrate power and family history. This fabric reinterprets that tradition in a creative key, replacing human characters with symbolic figures like the lion, long a symbol of strength and royalty. It is like having a hall of wonders enclosed in a fabric, where each image seems to tell a different story, suspended between reality and imagination. Size: 3.00 x 2.80 meters. The colors of the fabric shown in the photo may vary slightly from the real color, depending on the device you use to view it. WARNING!
