pianeta in velluto
il pianeta in velluto rosso è lavorato a inferriata con decorazione "a melograna".
Da quello che ho capito il velluto a inferriata è un tipo di velluto fabbricato in Italia nel XV secolo. Spulciando nei siti di vari musei ho trovato "CUT VOIDED VELVET". Potete confermare?

voided velvet
this is what I found from a research in google - see links below.
"voided velvet, in which the smooth ground weave contrasts with the apparently darker velvet pile: the pattern is traced in the voided areas where the pile, having been shaved away, allows the ground to show through."
Hope this helps !
