"From about the 1720s onwards Ottoman embroidery stopped copying woven designs and became a truly creative art form: new, naturalistic floral motifs were introduced and many of them were depicted in great detail.

The colours were originally very bright but have often faded to pleasing pastel shades."@en . . . .
