Kathi modelling three Ottoman period silk jackets
I spent April in Turkey and found some wonderful kilims, rugs and textiles. As they catch up with me in Ireland, I am steadily photographing and describing them.
This morning Kathi modelled some Ottoman period silk jackets, the first is from late 19th century Bulgaria and is made from shining green quilted silk with black glass buttons. It looks so aristocratic, I wonder if it was made for court dress. The other two jackets from the 1920s are Turkish and are made from beautiful floral kutnu silk probably from Gaziantep. Only the yellow jacket is too fragile to wear. The others are in great condition for a collection or for wearing on special occasions.
