IDENTIFIERS ----------- id: 110917 accession number: T.1-1956 DATE AUDIT ---------- created: Saturday 6 August 2011 updated: Wednesday 6 December 2023 DESCRIPTIVE DATA ---------------- object type: Linen sampler embroidered with polychrome silks in double running, compound double running, eyelet and single faggot stitch. Two edges are hemmed and there is a selvedge at the top and bottom. The sampler is covered with motifs, and the work can be divided into two distinctive categories, one of lightly stitched randomly placed motifs, the other heavier work depicting naturalistic motifs, corner and band patterns and a largely indecipherable inscription. The light, linear motifs include flower vases, sprays, trees, kiosks, a jug and a boat as well as imported Western European patterns such as the beribboned flower sprays. Amongst the other more densely worked traditional patterns, such as the confronting parrots and the asymmetric flower motifs, various non-Ottoman elements have been incorporated, for example the small-scale rosebud border repeat patterns and a tree trunk apparently sprouting acorns. object type: Sampler embroidered with polychrome silks, covered with motifs , both naturalistic and inscriptions, including lower vases, sprays, trees, kiosks, a jug and a boat, flowers sprays and Arabic verses. title: sampler NOTES ----- type: history note value: unknown before previous owner LICENSING --------- text license status: CC0 image license status: CC-BY-NC-SA OWNERSHIP --------- instutition: The Fitzwilliam Museum department: Applied Arts creditline: Purchased from Professor and Mrs A.J.B.
