19th Century Ottoman Embroidered Turkish Towel
This is one in a collection of four Turkish towels acquired from a well-known midwestern collector of fine quality antiques. Each has a unique embroidered design on a hand-woven natural handspun linen towel with embroidered patterning at each end. The color palette on all the towels is of muted tints with gold threads used as accents to add richness and sparkle to the design. The designs are done in a variety of embroidery techniques. Hems are hand stitched. These towels have a wonderful old patina and are in excellent condition considering their age.
This one is very lovely and has a soft delicate hand. The linen fabric is light weight, gauzy and transparent. It appears to have been hardly used and is in near perfect condition. This collection of textiles was featured on the Home and Garden Antiques Show on cable T.V., where the owner of Golden Thread Antiques was interviewed about her collection of textiles shown at the Star of the North Antiques Show in Minneapolis. Size is 15 1/2" by 31 inches .
