Textile (France)
This is a Textile. It is dated 1690–1710 and we acquired it in 1902. Its medium is silk, metallic yarns and its technique is damask weave with discontinuous supplementary weft patterning (brocade). It is a part of the Textiles department.
This European silk and metallic brocade borrows liberally from the Indian painted-cotton or chintz fabrics that were so popular at the time. While the initial impression is of a staid, symmetrical design, closer inspection reveals exotic fruits and foliage, rendered with botanical fascination.
