DEFINICIÓN
- It refers to those fabrics that are characterized by the use of a decoration that combined schematic vegetable motifs arranged symmetrically around a vertical axis, contained in stripes that imitate lace motifs. This typology appeared around 1690 recovering the framed vegetable motifs, characteristic of the late 16th century, but renewed through the inclusion of lace. They had great success in the 1690s and in the 1720s, but at this time the abstract vegetable motifs were progressively replaced by floral motifs, until around 1730 the flowers became the fundamental part of the composition. On a technical level, most of these fabrics consisted of a lamp with decorative weft lines and spines of metallic thread. In addition to the important presence of the metallic thread, a decoration is added with exotic flowers and fruits that developed in a wavy and vertical way. The great technical difficulty involved in its manufacture laid the groundwork for "bizarre" fabrics to be made.
