About this piece
Featuring a symmetrical, repeating ogival pattern. This design is likely from Istanbul, Turkey, dating back to the late 16th or 17th century. The textile is crafted from silk with metal-wrapped thread, using a lampas (kemha) weave technique. The pattern consists of stylised interconnected floral and foliate motifs, framed within a border and enhanced with interspersed metal sequins. The color palette includes a golden-saffron yellow background with contrasting darker threads, possibly silver or gilded, outlining the pattern. Each in a simple, giltwood moulded frame and mounted within a high quality green gold card mount.
Ottoman textiles like this were often used for garments or furnishings and were highly valued both within the Ottoman Empire and for export. The intricate designs were influenced by the nakkaşhane (royal design atelier) and adapted to the constraints of the weaving process.
Provenance: from an estate collection of Indian, Islamic, Mughal and Ottoman textiles.
Conditions: very good condition for the age, one panel with minor fraying to one corner visible in the detail images. The frames with some scratches and indentations.
