Ottoman Turkish Turban Cover, 19th C. Linen embroidered with silk and metallic thread. Size: 47'' x 43'' (119 x 109 cm). A large gauze linen panel divided into three concentric areas: a small circle at the center surrounded by another circle, all set against a square field. The entire panel is adorned with delicate sprays of roses, tulips, and pomegranates, meticulously embroidered within narrow borders. The intricate stitch work is executed using polychrome silk and metallic thread. What sets this piece apart is its remarkable refinement, suggesting that it was professionally crafted in a workshop rather than at home.
