EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a bed valance from the 16th century, currently housed in the Burrell Collection in Glasgow, Scotland. Crafted with exquisite attention to detail, this valance is made of silk and linen, measuring 37.5x269 cm. The light cream silk taffeta fabric is adorned with black silk velvet applique motifs arranged in an intricate arabesque design. What makes this piece truly remarkable are the repeated cyphers "HA" for Henry VIII and his second wife Anne Boleyn, symbolizing their union. These cyphers are elegantly embellished with acorns and honeysuckles along with couched red silk threads that have faded to a delicate pink over time. The lower edge of the valance features a striking fringe composed of black, red (now faded to pink), and light cream colors. The meticulous craftsmanship can be observed through slip stitch techniques, French knots, seeding stitches forming a brick pattern on the fabric. With its double linen canvas backing providing durability and stability, this valance represents not only an ornate decoration but also reflects the opulence associated with royalty during the Tudor period in England. It serves as a testament to the skillful artistry of English craftsmen during that era. Gifted by Sir William and Lady Burrell to the City of Glasgow in 1944, this bed valance offers us a glimpse into history while showcasing both British heritage and European Renaissance influences within its design.
