The Cepa Silk Velvet Tapestry by Anna Paola Cibin sets Murano glass fish against a hand-dyed green and cornflower blue ground.
Created in 2011 by Florence-based artist Anna Paola Cibin, the Cepa Silk Velvet Tapestry is part of the Velvet Lagoon project, shown at the Venice Biennale. Silk velvet is assembled on a wooden frame and painted by hand with natural pigments and colored pastes. The background is dyed in tones of green and cornflower blue, and carries an elegant fish, a twait shad known locally as cheppia, enriched with mouth-blown Murano glass details that catch the light with rays of white glass. A one-of-a-kind statement for a living room, dining room or entry. Contact a Sklar associate for availability.
