Jameel Gallery Cloth of Silver Turkey, probably Bursa 1550-1600 The lavish use of silver-wrapped thread in the weft of this piece is a feature of seraser fabrics, the most highly prized of all Ottoman textiles. The design - staggered roundels filled with stylised cypress trees alternating with rose buds - is a rare variation on the usual repetition of medallions. Silk and metal-wrapped thread in taqueté weave Museum no. 835-1904 [2006-2012]

  • Fragment of silk with metal thread, decorated with roundels formed of cypress- and rosebud-motifs, Turkey (probably Bursa), 1550-1600. (en)
  • This is an example of the most prestigious type of Ottoman silk textile. It is known in Turkish as a <i>seraser</i>, indicating that the cloth is faced 'from end to end' by expensive gold or silver thread. Here the silver ground has a striking pattern of roundels worked in red and green and set in staggered rows. The realistic cypress and rose-buds help to date this piece. They were introduced in the 1550s, so this textile must have been made after that time. (en)
