Antique Turkish Tel-Kirma Gold Embroidered Silver Metallic Muslin Square Scarf
This antique Turkish tel-kirma gold embroidered silver metallic muslin square scarf dates from the late 19th century. It is made of a white sheer cotton muslin fabric, with hand embroidered gold metallic thread designs outlined in silver thread couching and hand applied silver metal pieces done in decorative Coptic designs on each of the four corners. This Tel-Kirma telli shawl is a close relative to the Egyptian Tulle-bi-telli, Assuit, Asyut, Assyut, Assiut. Tulle-bi-telli, but is of a Turkish style. This stunning textile has a large square shape scarf style measuring 28 by 28 inches. It is in good as-is condition, with a few faint small age spot stains and frayed holes (see close-ups). This is truly a wonderful one of a kind piece of antique Ottoman Turkish textile art!
