About the Item

This rare and elegantly restrained Aleppo textile from Syria measures 46 × 98 cm and represents the traditional textile arts of the Levantine region, specifically tied to Aleppo’s historic position as a trading and cultural hub along the Silk Road. The textile is distinguished by its dark brown to black ground, over which striking geometric medallions—two horizontal car-touches flanking a central stepped lozenge—are rendered in muted gold, ivory, and orange tones with subtle indigo accents. These motifs are woven in supplementary weft technique, where additional decorative threads float over the weft to create shimmering, tapestry-like embellishments. Bands of fine horizontal striping in metallic and ochre tones frame the top and bottom, adding both structure and contrast. The geometric symmetry and palette suggest Ottoman-era influence, and such pieces may have been used as head coverings, ceremonial cloths, or part of interior decor in traditional homes.
