Brocade with silk

Ca. 1680 - 1700

Brocade in silk and golden bullion thread on a silk core. All of the background in red silk has a taffeta weave and over it a small rhomboid decoration created with float spans in the warp.

On this background, ascendant wavy branches, decorated on the inside with rhomboids created using a basting stitch in the weft. These branches are repeated in parallel to form a network of branches with flowers emerging alternatively from the right and left sides in an ascending rhythm with small, closed pomegranates hanging from them.
