Antique 19thc Turkish Ottoman Embroidered Velvet Panel Islamic Mosque Museum Old

OFFERED FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION IS A MAGNIFICENT GENUINE 19TH CENTURY ANTIQUE TURKISH OTTOMAN EMBROIDERED PANEL. THIS BEAUTIFUL PANEL IS EMBROIDERED WITH GOLD METAL THREAD AND DEPICTS A MOSQUE.

IT IS POSSIBLY A REPRESENTATION OF THE HAGIA SOPHIA MOSQUE IN ISTANBUL TURKEY OR SIMILAR. THE PANEL IS FINISHED WITH A BEAUTIFUL ROPE WORK TWIST BORDER. AT THE CENTRAL BOTTOM HANGS A TASSEL AND TO THE LEFT ARE TWO ROPE WORK TWIST PULLS. THE TOP BORDER HAS A BRASS ROD ATTACHED FOR THE PURPOSE OF HANGING. THIS IS AN EXCEPTIONALLY WELL MADE AND BEAUTIFUL EMBROIDERY THAT HIGHLIGHTS THE EXEMPLARY SKILL OF THE OTTOMAN TURKISH TEXTILE CRAFTSMAN.

DIMENSIONS : 58 CM WIDE X 54 CM HIGH. CONDITION: THE PANEL HAS BEEN WELL LOOKED AFTER AND HAS ALMOST NO LOSSES AND FEW THREAD PULLS. THE VELVET HAS WEAR AS DEPICTED IN IMAGES. THE ROPE WORK BORDER IS IN GOOD ORDER. THE LINING ON THE REVERSE HAS A SMALL AREA OF SPLITTING AND A SMALL AREA OF STAINING- THIS DOES NOT REALLY DETRACT.

THERE IS A STALE SMELL TO THE TEXTILE AND I SUGGEST AIRING AND SUN TO ELIMINATE THIS. PLEASE SEE MY OTHER MIDDLE EASTERNANTIQUES.
