- “Insnared with flowers, I fall on grass"
- With the establishment of its colonial trade center in Goa, India, in the early 16th century, Portugal was flooded with imported Indian luxury textiles, which left a distinct mark on furnishings such as this marriage quilt, or colcha. Abounding with painstakingly embroidered carnations and scrolling vines on a silk ground, it was either made in India for the Portuguese market or crafted in Portugal as a version of the Indian originals. The artisans who made this piece substituted the carnation—a flower indigenous to the Mediterranean—for a lotus-blossom motif that would have been more familiar to the Asian market.
- The coordinated fabrics that make up the jacket and trousers of the Oscar de la Renta suit explicitly refer to the exuberant naturalism of late 18th-century silk woven textiles. This circa 1800 Portuguese or Spanish example features vases framed by floral garlands and doves holding olive twigs; such patterns reflect the aristocratic taste for pastoral themes and the idyllic country life, as expressed by the Neoclassical aesthetic style.
