An Entity of Type : ecrm:E22_Man-Made_Object, within Data Space : data.silknow.org associated with source document(s)

Panel of silk dismantled from a dress; it retains traces of pleats from a waist. It is a loom width, with a seam near the lower edge attaching an addition small section of silk that allows the pattern repeat to be seen complete. There is a narrow line of silk with a cut edge stitched to the top, suggesting another panel was joined previously, and has been cut off. A short length of linen tape is attached to the reverse. The silk is cream in plain weave brocaded in four shades of brown, with self-coloured ground weft floats creating delicate floral sprays in the background. In the foreground the brown brocading creates floral swags across the width of the silk.

  • Lightweight silks like this with a floral pattern brocaded in delicate colours were very fashionable for women's gowns in the early 1740s. The technique of brocading allowed different colours to be introduced into the pattern of a fabric in specific, sometimes very small areas. It was a more laborious process for the weaver than using patterning wefts running from selvedge to selvedge, but the resulting effect could be much more varied and lively. (en)
