Indian Silk Embroidery
This intriguing beauty had me baffled as to its origin, but I have finally settled for an India but probably made for the Persian market. Woven on a fuchsia silk damask background, the teardrop medallion surround by flowers and birds is very much in the Persian decorative style. Note too the flowing movement of the flowers and tendrils in the border on the same fuchsia background, that completes the delightful composition. The spacing is so elegant and restrained, and the little birds perched on the tip of the flowers is a lovely touch. Ideal for the wall or table. Very good condition. Lined.
