Antique Inspirations: Antique Tapestry Vignette

February 23, 2013 Leave a Comment Written by Inessa Stewart

Antique Letter EngravingHope your weekend is going well!  We have been so busy rearranging the stores and displaying all the new arrivals.  Just few days ago I took some time to set up and style a quick photo shoot.  As we were hanging a tapestry above an antique buffet that just arrived in our most recent container, a lovely still life setting developed, so we wanted to share the inspiration.  This vintage tapestry was designed as a portiere almost a hundred years ago.  These were used by the French to cover doors, draping them in the winter to keep drafts at bay.  It is trimmed in its original velvet with perfectly preserved greige tones.  We love the texture of velvet as it adds an unmistakable feeling of warmth to the design of a room.

Antiques in Style is a source of joy for me to create, and hopefully will be a source of inspiration for you! The variety, artistry and history of the antiques and vintage pieces that surround us every day provide pleasure, beauty and sometimes even intrigue.

The classics never go out of style, and each era, country, and even artisan's interpretations create an environment that is always full of surprises.

It is truly a pleasure to bring such timeless style together for every client and follower of my blog. And of course, your input is always welcome!
