About the Item

authentic Ottoman Turkish hand-embroidered textile. This piece features the iconic Imperial Tughra (the Sultan’s calligraphic monogram) at its center, surrounded by a delicate arrangement of celestial crescents and botanical motifs. This textile is a prime example of the "Bindallı" or "Tel Kırma" tradition, where metallic threads are meticulously worked into fine fabric to create a shimmering, embossed effect. Period: Late 19th Century to Early 20th Century (Circa 1880–1920) Symbolism: The central Tughra represents power and protection, while the Crescents and Flowers are classic symbols of Ottoman beauty and the Islamic period. Base Fabric: Fine hand-loomed linen or silk-gauze (typically known as bürümcük), known for its lightweight, slightly crinkled texture. Vintage/Antique Condition: This piece shows a beautiful, authentic patina consistent with age. Fabric: The base material is intact with some natural age-toning and spotting (foxing) and fading which adds to its antique character. Embroidery: The metallic threads remain remarkably bright. There is very minor fraying at the edges, typical for textiles of this era. Note: Please refer to the high-resolution photos for a detailed view of the fabric weave and thread integrity. Whether you are a collector of Islamic Art, a lover of Antique Textiles, or looking for a unique piece of Bohemian/Global wall decor, this embroidery is a conversation starter. It reflects the opulence of the Ottoman era and the incredible skill of traditional Turkish needlework.
