An Islamic Textile with Silver Thread Bordering, Late Safavid-Early Qajar, 17-18th Century.

This textile showcases intricate designs woven in a rich palette of muted golds, reds, and greens. The central field features repeating motifs of elegantly dressed figures, possibly dancers or attendants, interwoven with delicate floral patterns. A vibrant border of diagonal, multi-coloured panels frames the piece, accentuated by silver-thread detailing that adds a shimmering elegance. The textile is further embellished with scalloped metallic lace edging.
