While working with a customer in the showroom today, I discovered this amazing fabric from F Schumacher. It works with our theme of Ottoman Rules from last week.The fabric is called Nurata Embroidery in Coral. The following is a description of the design’s “roots”.
“Adapted from an antique piece of a traditional Central Asian embroidery design, this print features a growing vine of pomegranates and flowers. Its curving shape and set repeat is very typical of and likely derived from early Ottoman Empire brocades and velvet designs. Screen printing gives the pattern bold color and shading, and hand guided embroidery adds dimension, texture and details.”
