Framed Ottoman Coat with Metallic Thread Embroidery

About the Item

An lavishly decorated Turkish coat likely from the Ottoman Empire period circa 19th century, presented in a shadow box gilt frame with dark blue fabric lining. The jacket was made from a silver damask patterned brocade with elaborate embroidery with golden threads covering much of its surface. The interior was lined with ivory color silk.

Well conserved and presented, a bespoken piece of textile art.
