Description
The complex taqueté technique was used for weaving furnishing fabrics as well. The present fragment, depicting dark blue medallions with lions in a repeat pattern, was part of a large rectangular blanket or cover, used for upholstery, probably in private houses. Fragments of the same textile are spread over several collections. The medallion pattern was interrupted by areas of light coloured loop pile weave, traces of which are visible at the upper left of the fragment.
