Description

This is a lovely example of a Turkish/Ottoman embroidered waistcoat. It is made of orange fabric, probably felt, and lavishly embroidered in couched work with gold coloured thread. The embroidery covers much of the garment, front and back and is a traditional design with a border round the edge of the garment and loops, rings and leaf sprays on each side of the centre front and repeated leaf and swirl design in the centre of the back at the top and bottom. It is fully lined in very dark green/blue cotton.

As to the size of the garment, the back measurement across between the bottom of the armholes is 15 1/2 inches (39.4 cms) and the length from the top of the shoulder to the hem is approximately 14 inches (35.6 cms.) The only damage I can find is a slight fraying of the gold binding on the edge of the bottom of the armhole.

This is a wonderful example of a very traditional garment and would add interest to any collection or display.
