~Oreillers~

A French or Italian 1710 - 30 silk and silver metal brocaded lampas cover with
symmetrical patterns of flower and leaves on a melon/orange silk ground. Patterns such
as these were typically nicknamed “ lace patterns” for they generally included areas of
small scale diaper ornament that were creamy white in color and formed of bands and
ribbons reminiscent of lace trimmings. Edged in a creamy white silk trim and fully lined
with a coordinating green silk.
