Sold by James Cohen Antique Carpets

Description

This silk embroidered embroidery was probably made to cover the turban overnight, to keep the dust off. Made around 200 years ago, it is in remarkably good condition, considering the fragility of the materials used. Flowers in pale gold and mid blue are embroidery in silk on to a fine muslin ground. In the very centre you can see someone has tried to preserve some small damaged parts of the ground by couching around it. It is not too noticeable and does not distract from the marvellous flow of the embroidery.
