Fifteenth Century Italian Ornament, Sydney Vacher, 1854 - 1935

100% Silk
Sold Per Metre
Designed and Printed in Britain

This collection is inspired by the work of Sydney Vacher, an English architect of the late 19th century that created a book of patterns called ‘Fifteenth Century Italian Ornament’. The patterns within were inspired by the ‘brocades and stuffs found in pictures in the National Gallery, London’. Chiefly he chose patterns and details found within 15th-century Italian art and recreated these as repeat patterns for use with textiles, fabrics and print design. This particular repeat pattern is inspired by a detail taken from the cope of a high priest in a work by Marco Marziale, painted in approximately 1500.

Here at Rampley & Co, we’ve taken the originals from within the book and increased the vibrancy and variety of the colours used to create the perfect blends for beautiful jacket linings.

Usage: Generally, we find tailors prefer to work with two panels of a single painting per jacket in order to line up the image along the back seam. For full details on how best to use our linings, click here: Linings FAQ.

Original Artist - Marco Marziale

Marco Marziale, Unknown birth and death, active from 1492 - 1507. Marziale described himself as a Venetian and a pupil of Gentile Bellini. In about 1500 he moved from Venice to Cremona.

The donor, Tommaso Raimondi (died 1510), was a jurist and a poet. He is seen on the right of the painting, opposite his wife, Doralice Cambiago, on whose clothing the letter 'D' is embroidered. The kneeling boy may be their son Marco. Two other figures may be Tommaso Raimondi's brother Eliseo, and the latter's wife Lorenza degli Osi.

The Circumcision was painted in 1500 for the high altarpiece of S. Silvestro, Cremona. The mosaics in the background presumably imitate those of St Mark's in Venice.

The National Gallery

The National Gallery in central London was founded in 1824 and houses over 2,300 paintings dating from the mid-13th century to 1900. Situated in Trafalgar Square, it is an iconic building that is famous the world over. Its collection belongs to the government on behalf of the British public and is among the most visited art museums in the world.

The National Gallery Collection contains over 2,300 works, with all major traditions of Western European painting represented from the artists of late medieval and Renaissance Italy to the French Impressionists.

Macclesfield Printed Silk

Macclesfield was once the centre of the English silk weaving industry and the world's biggest producer of finished silk. The area has been printing silk for over 300 years and at one point had over seventy mills operating in the town. The town is close to a water supply that passes through limestone, and when used in washing and dyeing it gives silk a uniquely attractive lustre.

Our silk linings are printed at a mill that has been producing printed fabric on the same site for the past fifty years and the process uses water sourced from its own reservoir.
