Silk and Damask: Walls Wrapped in Fabric

A wall covered in silk. The panels of the wainscoting are not flat wooden boards but taut silk or brocade, with a jacquard pattern on the surface: intertwining flowers and plants or a damask pattern, in varying shades of the same color family, showing different reflections under light due to the weave. The fabric is secured around the edges with fine gold lines and a wooden frame. The same fabric is also used on the chair seats. Avoid: using plain paint instead of fabric covering, using synthetic fibers and printed imitation brocade, making the pattern contrast too strong, making the wall fabric a floral fabric with many colors.

一面包覆絲綢的牆。護牆板的格子裡不是平的木板而是繃緊的絲綢或錦緞,表面有提花的圖案:纏繞的花草或大馬士革紋樣,顏色是同色系的深淺變化,在光下因為織法而呈現不同的反射。布的四周以細金線與木框固定。同樣的布也用在椅面上。避免:使用素面的塗料取代包布、使用化纖與印刷的仿錦緞、讓圖案的對比過於強烈、把牆布做成有大量色彩的花布。
