EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning border design originating from Southern Italy, believed to have been created between 1701 and 1750. The anonymous artist behind this exquisite piece remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to its allure. The photograph captures the intricate details of the border against a striking black background, allowing each element to shine with vibrant colors and patterns. This close-up view highlights the meticulous craftsmanship that went into creating this decorative art piece. Geometric shapes intertwine harmoniously in this heritage artwork, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of Italy. The fabric used is linen plain weave, which adds texture and depth to the overall composition. Delicate lace-like patterns adorn every inch of this border, demonstrating exceptional skill in pulled thread work using single faggot and darning stitches. Transporting us back in time, this antique treasure evokes a sense of nostalgia for old-fashioned elegance and sophistication. Its panoramic letterbox format invites viewers to immerse themselves fully in its beauty. Preserved within the Art Institute Chicago's collection, this textile masterpiece serves as a testament to human creativity throughout history.
