Tudor Door Curtain
The textiles of Tudor England have inspired this vibrant door curtain. Magnificent pomp & display marked Henry VIII day. The royal meeting at the Field of the 'Cloth of Gold' was characteristic of the splendour of the period. This was also the time of Italian silks & satins with the marvellous colours - crimson, masareene blue, dove coloured fabric embellished with orange, tawn & russets. The first printed pattern book was also published in Augsburg Germany [1523], followed by dozens of similar books. Cross-stitch, two sided Italian cross-stitch, Tent & Basketweave, Brick & Encroached Gobelin were some of the favoured Embroidery stitches of these times.Beautiful Tudor fine woven, fully lined door curtain. With hanging loops.Please Note:Fabrics by their nature are flexible, during storage, humidity and temperature may occasionally affect their shape and also cause creasing. To help a tapestry hang better we recommend using a dry iron on a 'Cotton' setting. Lightly iron the tapestry from the centre towards the edges [on the face]. In very extreme cases the Tapestry can be stretched by pulling the panel gently by hand, diagonally.Composition: chenille fabric = 76% cotton - 24% PolyesterDry clean only.Additional Service: We also offer a bespoke service for this product.
