Antique Ottoman Embroidery, Turkey, early eighteenth century
Serrated silk embroidered serrated palmettes sway in alternation between red and pale aubergine in diagonal rows on this exquisite classical antique Ottoman textile. Small spiky green vines fill the intervening spaces, giving the whole design a remarkable dense, rich texture. The delicate coloration matches the finesse of the design and the soft luminosity of the silk.
