The use of Middle Eastern textiles for Western fashion was relatively rare during the Second French Empire. The taste for Orientalism in fashion was most prevalent in the eighteenth century, under the First Empire and during the first third of the twentieth century. This visit was made by a Parisian couturier from an Ottoman abba or imam's cloak. This is a tapestry made of silk reps woven with gold or silver metallic threads and featuring a geometric design with vertical lines. Some abba may feature ikate patterns or kilim weaving. This was a speciality of Damascus and Aleppo, nicknamed Zok after an Aleppo weaver, and was used for furniture and clothing. The few known examples of abba being used for fashion are in accessories, such as slippers or reticules in the 19th century. Zok was also woven in Egypt and Lebanon, countries with extensive trade links with France in the 19th century. In our example, the juxtaposition of oriental graphics with French upholstery taste, combining lace, moire and trimmings, is particularly daring, not to say prestigious.
