Presented by Passamaneria Frassinetti
Precious embellishments and furnishings, and richly detailed items make up the imagery of a regal, opulent era. Museum-like royal palaces generate a sense of amazement and wonder. The walls are covered with masterful tapestries featuring complex designs crafted with golden threads. Beautifully designed carpets cover the immense wooden floors. Gilded stucco garlands and flowers surround ornate mirrors, intricate ornaments of curves and curls frame the palace’s furnishings amidst brocades and upholstery, engraved metal and carved wood fill the emptiness under the soaring ceilings abundantly decorated with a shower of sparkling crystals. Dulcet strings resounded within the walls of those opulent aristocratic mansions, elegance and good manners were de rigueur in the balls held on gala nights. A distant, fairy-tale world full of grand occasions and opulent splendour created by amazing craftsmanship. Passamaneria Frassinetti’s fringes are lit up by silver fragments while its cords seem covered in molten gold. Hand-crafted accessories and trimmings recall the sumptuous atmospheres of a bygone era preserved in now-deserted palaces. (Exclusive content for Superzoom)
