Fiziksel açıklama
Furnishing or dress fabric, cut voided silk velvet. Displayed behind glass. Foundation Warp: white S-twist silk Pile Warp: white silk Weft: blue and cream silk. Plain weave ground with a pattern weft bound in chevron twill by the foundation and pile warps. Pieced: 4 pieces, 2 joined vertically with 2 joined pieces running across the top. Cream ground with a small-scale diaper pattern in cream around vertical parallel wavy stems edged with a blue line and decorated with a fine blue and cream check. Over the top of these wavy stems are cloud-like formations in white pile. Offset bands of lobed medallions cut across 2 adjacent stems and do not really create an integrated pattern. These have a blue outline. In the centre of each is an octagon of white pile containing fine blue stems, almost forming a pair of S-motifs. The octagon is surrounded by blue dots on a voided ground.
