FAQs

Cisele velvet is a technique featuring both cut and uncut velvet pile to create raised, textured motifs upon a flat woven ground. During the eighteenth century, narrow vertical textile panels known as pilaster hangings were crafted to adorn interior architectural pillars, doors, or wall spaces.

These textiles were hand-woven using silk threads, incorporating ground weaves of satin or tabby with supplementary warp threads creating the velvet pile. The intricate patterns were achieved by manually cutting select loops while leaving others uncut to establish depth and contrast.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-loomed selvages, irregular thread counts consistent with manual weaving, and natural age-related wear to the pile. Examining the reverse side reveals hand-bound edges and hand-spun silk construction rather than uniform machine production.

These vertical panels can be framed individually or mounted side-by-side to serve as focal wall art in entryways, living rooms, or bedrooms. They offer textural contrast when set against clean, contemporary wall finishes or paired with classical furniture.

To prevent deterioration, retain these textiles away from direct sunlight, high humidity, and heat sources. Cleaning should be restricted to conservation methods by a professional textile restorer, avoiding vacuuming, moisture, or chemical solvents.
