EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent piece of art, an exquisite brocaded velvet with a falconer and attendant in animated lattice design. Created during the mid-1500s by the Iranian school, this silk and gilt-metal thread robe is truly a sight to behold. Measuring 79.4x66.7 cm, it currently resides in the prestigious Wallace Collection in London, UK. The ornate and elaborate nature of this fabric immediately catches the eye. The intricate patterns depict scenes of falconry, showcasing the bond between man and bird of prey. A majestic falcon perches on the arm of its skilled handler while an attendant stands nearby, adding to the overall sense of grandeur. The Persian influence is evident in every detail; from the vibrant red and gold hues that dominate the palette to the hexagonal shapes that form an animated lattice pattern throughout. The embroidery work is nothing short of extraordinary - each stitch carefully placed to create a mesmerizing decorative effect. Hunting enthusiasts will appreciate this stunning representation of their beloved sport, as it beautifully captures both its elegance and intensity. This Safavid period masterpiece hails from Kashan in Iran and holds historical significance within its threads. As you gaze upon this remarkable textile artwork captured by Bridgeman Images' lens, allow yourself to be transported back centuries into a world where clothing was not merely functional but also served as a canvas for artistic expression at its finest.
