Linen embroidered with silk in surface darning and split stitch

- The designs of domestic embroideries like this one are clearly based on the more expensive woven silks popular at the Ottoman court. The embroideries have the same flowers, serrated leaves and other motifs as the woven silks, but their shapes are often less well-defined.
The embroideries required less costly materials (mainly linen and silk thread) and women could make them in their own homes. Large panels served as quilt-covers and hangings. Smaller pieces were used as napkins, sashes and towels, and for wrapping one’s possessions on the way to the public bath.
Most of the embroidery is done in simple stitches, such as darning stitch, couching and running stitch. (en)
- Hanging, linen embroidered with silk in regular surface darning over three threads and split stitch (border).
Made from three widths joined after being embroidered.
The border consists of a broken meander with a fine green stem with diagonal ragged blue leaves, red tulips, blue hyacinth sprays and small white flowers. There are red diagonal bars at intervals containing a green line with two white flowerheads.
The field is decorated with undulating parallel stems which are red and contain a green line with white flowerheads. Small red carnations and blue hyacinths come from the parallel stems as do large red tulip and blue ragged leaves, both of which contain internal floral ornamentation. (en)
