This piece of silk velvet was a dress fabric. It is just one of the many silk velvets made in abundance at Isfahan, both for local use and for export. Many had floral patterns. Some were composed of naturalistic flowers, others (like this example) of fantastic blossoms. Shah Abbas I, a member of the ruling Safavid dynasty, made Isfahan his capital shortly before 1600. He then developed the city as a centre of luxury textile production.
