From about the 1720s onwards Ottoman embroidery stopped copying woven designs and became a truly creative art form: new, naturalistic floral motifs were introduced and many of them were depicted in great detail. Some were allowed to sway and sweep across the fabric, some were stylised and many were enriched with metal thread. The colours were originally very bright but have often faded to pleasing pastel shades.

- part, embroidered, 1700s, Turkish (en)
- Part of a cover, silk atin embroidered with silk in atma and with couched metal threads for the outlines.
The ground is dark gold in colour and there is an inconspicuous central motif with a red centre and three blue and three white leaves alternating and curved like a catherine-wheel.
Four curving sprays of ragged blue and white flowers an dgreen and red leaves come from the edges and meet around the central motif.
All four sides have been cut, but it is possible that not much is missing. (en)
