A remarkable large-scale bespoke window treatment professionally fabricated in documented Zoffany “Floral Urn” fabric, retaining its original manufacturer's selvage marked “ZOFFANY L ‘FLORAL URN’ MCMXCVI — Printed in England.” Created as a custom interior-design commission for a private residence, this unusually complete ensemble survives with its elaborate multi-swag valance, full-length drapery components, decorative trim and passementerie, substantial tassel tiebacks, original approximately 140-inch mounting system and installation hardware, and a coordinating pair of gold/yellow glazed ceramic table lamps with pleated fringed shades.
1996 Zoffany “Floral Urn” Bespoke Custom Drapery Ensemble With Original 140" Mounting Hardware, Tassel Tiebacks & Pair of Coordinating Lamps
An exceptional large-scale bespoke window treatment professionally fabricated from Zoffany “Floral Urn” printed fabric and originally created as a custom interior-design commission for a private residence.
The textile retains its original manufacturer's selvage identifying the pattern:
ZOFFANY L “FLORAL URN” MCMXCVI — Printed in England
The Roman numeral MCMXCVI corresponds to 1996, providing unusually useful documentation for the textile's date.
Executed in an elegant cream, ivory and golden-yellow palette, the Zoffany Floral Urn fabric features an elaborate classical floral and decorative design ideally suited to traditional and English-inspired interiors.
This is substantially more than a pair of drapery panels. The treatment was conceived as a complete architectural window installation and incorporates an elaborate multi-swag valance with deeply formed folds, tailored vertical elements, decorative rosettes, cascading side treatments and full-length drapery panels.
Extensive blue-gray and gold passementerie provides a sophisticated contrast to the warm Zoffany textile. The treatment is accompanied by substantial coordinating twisted-cord tiebacks terminating in elaborate oversized tassels.
The reverse photographs reveal the considerable workroom construction behind the finished presentation, including lining, internal structure, pleating, attachment points and the hand-formed construction required to maintain the elaborate swags.
The original mounting bracket measures approximately 140 inches wide (11 feet 8 inches) and is included together with the associated window-mounting brackets and installation hardware.
Completing the ensemble is a pair of coordinating gold/yellow glazed ceramic table lamps with dark wood bases and cream pleated fringed shades, all shown individually in the photographs.
