Italy, Burano

The artistic locale or workshop documented as Italy, Burano specialized in textile production during a focused period from 1760 to 1780. This activity places the production squarely within the 18th century, likely focusing on the tradition of fine lacemaking for which the Venetian island of Burano was historically renowned.

Nine examples of work attributed to this origin are represented in museum collections, confirming their museum-quality status and historical significance. Six of these are classified as textiles, with three additional objects also documented. These works are preserved in institutions including the Art Institute of Chicago. The represented catalog includes decorative and structural textile elements such as Border, Borders, Fragment (Border), Flounce (Incomplete), and Flounce (Used as Quilling).

These surviving artifacts provide insight into 18th-century Italian textile design. Documentation of these holdings ensures that high-quality prints of the objects are often available as downloadable artwork for study and research.
