EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning robe from the 11th or 12th century, crafted with delicate silk by the Central Asian School. Measuring an impressive 120x175 cm, this garment is currently held in a private collection. The robe exhibits a slightly waisted silhouette adorned with a luxurious fur collar and cuffs, adding an element of opulence to its overall design. The intricate decoration on this piece features repeated confronted hawks soaring over a lattice formed by thin stems and composite palmettes. This patterned motif creates a mesmerizing visual effect that adds depth and complexity to the garment's aesthetic appeal. The grey hue of the robe serves as an elegant backdrop for the vibrant birds of prey depicted throughout its surface. These falcons symbolize power and grace, further enhancing the regal aura exuded by this medieval attire. With its impeccable craftsmanship and attention to detail, this robe exemplifies the artistry prevalent during this period. Its exquisite combination of silk fabric, fur trimmings, and ornate patterns make it not only a remarkable historical artifact but also an extraordinary work of art. Captured beautifully by Christie's Images photographer, this image allows us to appreciate every intricate detail while transporting us back in time to experience the grandeur of medieval fashion firsthand.
