Ottoman Antique Embroidery Gold Metallic Thread Tapestry (Late 19th Century)

About the Item

The use of metallic threads in intricate patterns reflects the opulence once reserved for palaces, noble households, and ceremonial settings. This piece not only showcases the historical elegance of Ottoman design but also serves as a testament to the time-honored craftsmanship that has been passed down through generations. While the tapestry has some minor structural damage to the metallic embroidery—a natural occurrence in antique textiles of this age—the overall composition remains stunning.
