Catalogue Note
Whilst many examples of Ottoman brocades with variations on an ogival pattern are known (the pattern was a very popular one and is also found in tilework), the green satin ground of the lot offered here is much rarer than the usual red. The çintamani infill on the ogival vines is also unusual, as is the cushion cover format.
