Pair of French silk embroideries, c.1870, depicting cockerels and a hen in faux tortoiseshell frames - Rich colour, fine handwork and strong decorative appeal
Why We Love These
Decorative textiles of this calibre bring softness, colour and narrative into a room. These French silk embroideries have a timeless charm - the rural subject matter is full of character, and the hand-worked detail gives them a gentle luminosity. The faux tortoiseshell frames add refinement and contrast, making the pair both elegant and visually engaging. They work beautifully together or as part of a wider gallery wall.
