This exquisite antique Ottoman textile is a richly embroidered piece crafted from silk velvet, showcasing the luxurious artistry of 19th-century Ottoman decorative traditions. Set against a deep black velvet ground, the textile features an intricate circular and border composition embroidered with metallic thread and silk floss in shades of ivory, gold, lilac, and fuchsia. The central medallion bears elegant calligraphy framed by concentric floral and arabesque motifs. At the same time, the surrounding field is adorned with symbolic elements such as the hamsa (protective hand), rosettes, and stylised tulips all meticulously rendered in fine detail. The embroidery combines religious, imperial, and ornamental themes, reflecting the high cultural and spiritual significance of Ottoman textiles.
