A Refined Yet Rustic Antique Ottoman Textile Embroidery, Country Of Origin: Turkey, Circa Date: 17th Century -This antique Ottoman textile, is more like a beautiful work of ancient textile art than anything else. The beautiful array of warm colors and against the soft cream background color creates a soft and welcoming juxtaposition. The feel as if the motifs are whispering for one to come closer, to examine, to feel. It speaks and says, “Someone, over 300 years ago, made me with their own two hands.” If one answers the call and looks closely, it is easy to see the tell tale signs of a hand-crafted antique Ottoman embroidery textile. Each line is slightly off true. Each figure, from the flowers to the paisley design motifs, are in and of themselves quite asymmetrical and just a little bit uneven at the same time. Yet, when viewed as a whole, the overall effect is so lovely and inviting. It is an antique textile embroidery that begs to be seen and loved.
