Lambrequin — Storia e analisi

La virtuosità tecnica di questo lambrequin – una decorazione drappeggiata – è semplicemente sorprendente. Proviene dal Castello di Twickel vicino a Delden (provincia di Overijssel) e potrebbe aver servito come paralume o come decorazione per il bordo di un letto. La stanza in cui si trovava il letto potrebbe essere stata decorata interamente in chintz.

Il chintz rimase in uso nei Paesi Bassi, anche alla corte, per tutto il XVIII secolo.
