Luton Hoo - Bedrooms
Lot 188:
Description
This elaborate pair of classical-style window drapes is fashioned from a heavy woven fabric, likely silk or a silk blend, featuring a damask or brocade pattern of floral and foliate motifs in a muted taupe or beige. The drapes are richly dressed with deep swags and a valance at the top, trimmed with decorative fringe, and are tied back with substantial braided cording ending in large, multi-tiered tassels. They are installed within an arched window frame, complementing the ornate wall paneling and patterned wallpaper of the room, suggesting a late 19th to early 20th-century revival or earlier historical period. No visible text or manufacturer’s markings are present.
