"Sash\n19th century (before 1876)\nLinen embroidered with silk in double darning and double running in a line, and with metal thread and plate in satin stitch.\n\n674-1877 [17/06/2002]"@en . . . "Turkish people wore sashes round their waists. They tied them so that the decorative ends hung below knee level. At the end of the 18th century embroidery designs began to develop into rigid and heavily stylised borders for towels and napkins. The colours were strong and embroiderers used greater quantities of metal thread. The designs were always inventive. The colours in some 19th century embroideries were originally very bright but they have faded to pleasing pastel shades."@en . . "Sash, linen embroidered with silk in double darning and double running in a line and with metal thread and plate in satin stitch.\nBoth ends of this sash, which might have been threaded as a draw string in a pair of woman's trousers, have been decorated with a deep embroidered border in which there is a central blue and gold bowl surrounded by carnations and other flowers and by two large green and gold leaves. Below this is a narrow border with a floral meander of pink blossoms and blue leaves."@en . . . . . . "1800 / 1876, Turkey" .
