This extraordinary tapestry is her garden.
Midnight in the Garden of Scheherazade is a one-of-a-kind textile artwork by a gifted American fiber artist — a maximalist tour de force measuring 46 inches wide by 67 inches tall. Like Scheherazade's tales themselves, it reveals new details with every glance, each fabric a new chapter in an exotic and richly imagined world.
Burnt orange duchesse satin, bold zebra and leopard prints, herringbone weave, quilted ground cloth, and midnight black velvet, all designer fabrics, are unified by cascading sculptural rope-cord loops and hand-appliquéd botanical leaf motifs. Ivory tassel drops, decorative bead accents, and gold bullion fringe at the hem complete the drama.
Suspended from a turned wood pole with finials, this piece arrives ready to hang and ready to command a room. A true collector's statement piece for the design-forward home. See less
