Furnishing Textile, Velvet Cloth of Gold Textile (late 15th–mid-16th century)

This Italian Renaissance fabric is a rare, full-length panel of Florentine cloth of gold. It features the intricate "firefly effect." Weaving technique using real gilded silver threads that reflect light. This exact style of luxury import was heavily favored by the Tudor monarchy, and the bicolored rose motif within its design may have served as inspiration for the Tudor rose emblem itself. Loc. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, since 1966. Dim. 318.8 cm H x 172.7 cm W (125 1/2 x 68 in.).
