Quilted housecoat from Syria, late nineteenth century, silk, weft-faced satin weave with a cotton warp. This is an example of a house coat or bath coat, made and worn in Syria, Lebanon and Ottoman Turkey in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Made of quilted satin with cotton lining, the luxurious textile was likely produced in the workshops of Aleppo and Damascus. The quilting on this example is particularly fine â creating floral motifs alongside zigzags and chevrons. Such coats were often worn in the hammam (communal baths) for after bathing, and in other domestic contexts. The garment would have belonged to a wealthy woman living in an urban centre in Syria (as opposed to village fellahin communities) and formed part of a typical bridal trousseau for this class of women.
