| Notes |
English: Two pieces, mantua and petticoat. Fabric: "Bright salmon-pink silk damask with floral and foliate pattern, brocaded with polychrome silk and gold-colored metallic filé and frisé threads in a large repeat of diamond-patterned vases, floral and foliate motifs, and paired scrolls.... The extraordinary textile is one of the so-called bizarre silks, produced only between 1695 and 1720 and characterized by elongated diagonal patterns incorporating exotic, and at times abstract, motifs."[1] |
