DESCRIPTION
first half 17th century
the crimson silk velvet ground with offset rows

CATALOGUE NOTE
The design of rows of carnation palmettes was
popular in late 16th century and 17th century
Ottoman textiles and is found in large panels
probably intended as hangings, cushion covers and
loom widths, such as the present example, which
may have been intended for upholstery. For a
çatma panel or hanging with an earlier, more
elaborate version of this pattern, please see
Spink and So. Ltd., Textiles from the Sangiorgi
Collection, cat. no.17; for panels with a very
similar design, including the supplementary
hyacinth spray motifs within and between the
carnations, please see Grünberg, E. & Torn,
E.M., Four Centuries of Ottoman Taste, London,
1988, cat.no.7 and Erber, C., A Wealth of Silk
and Velvet, Bremen, 1993, G10/2, pp.180-181, a
fragment in the Deutsches Textilmuseum, Krefeld,
