A LARGE PERSIAN SILK AND METAL-THREAD WOVEN FRAGMENT, PERSIA, 19TH CENTURY

Reference: ART300980

Decorated with registers of gold botehs on crimson ground, Zarbaft or brocade is derived from the Persian words Zar (gold) and baft (weaving), meaning weaving golden threads in silk. This is another of old Iranian crafts that relies heavily on an almost spiritually inspired graphic design. 520 by 43 cm.
