Luxury brocade 160 50749 CARNATION red

Carnation – The pattern was first woven for upholstery and garments in the Turkish city of Bursa to compete with similar textiles woven in Venice and Florence. It was produced during the reign of the Ottoman dynasty, which sought to challenge Italian dominance in the international textile market. The design is based on a pattern similar to those found on Italian velvets. However, Turkish weavers adapted individual elements to give the pattern a more 'Ottoman' appearance. The dominant floral motif is a stylized, fan-shaped carnation, one of the most typical patterns in Ottoman textiles.

Brocade was a historical term typically used to describe a fabric, usually silk, with a distinct jacquard pattern. Patterns were woven with threads containing expensive metallic fibers, such as silver or gold. However, the term "brocade" later began to be used for any fabric with a rich pattern. The technique for producing brocades originated in the Middle East. All our fabrics are high quality product.
