The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Cisele velvet is a specialised textile weaving technique originating in historic European weaving centres where both cut and uncut velvet pile are combined on a flat silk ground to produce intricate three-dimensional relief patterns.

These textiles were hand-woven on narrow drawlooms using silk yarns, incorporating supplementary warp threads that were raised over wires and manually cut with a blade to create the varied pile heights.

Genuine period panels display hand-stitched selvedges, subtle natural dye variations, irregular thread thickness, and narrow loom widths characteristic of pre-industrial weaving.

Mounting textile panels on acid-free boards for wall display creates textural interest and focal points above sideboards or in formal living spaces.

Historic silk velvet requires mounting in climate-controlled environments away from direct sunlight, with periodic gentle dusting using a low-suction conservation vacuum fitted with a soft screen.
