Brocaded Silk Textile
19th century, 106 x 102 cm, Czarist Russia
The brocaded designs in the repeat of different palmettes and blossoms, arranged in an elaborate and intricate composition, stand out in relief from the very fine black silk foundation. This square silk textile was purchased in the bazaar of Tashkent. However, it is not an Uzbek piece. Its ornamentation, style, colours and magical overall impression are features more often found in textiles from Russia.
Condition
Good condition except for a larger and three smaller stains. Backed with fabric and mounted onto a wooden frame.
