Balkans
c. 19th century, This Balkan embroidered textile features a high contrast design of rich, velvety blue and golden colors. The design includes filigree and floral inspired patterns of gold thread. The border features similar colors that are more inspired by filigree. The central medallion contains a floral and bird pattern. There are two thinner border stripes that contain a wider border. The thinner borders include smaller decorative elements, giving them a more delicate appearance that creates a level of contrast with the larger scale of the decorations in the wider border. The combinations of these borders help to frame the central field of the embroidery. This is a rare and important Balkan textile that is ready to be hung on the wall or draped on a sofa.
