Lampas fragment with blossoms in ogival lattice, 1600s. Creator: Unknown
Lampas fragment with blossoms in ogival lattice, 1600s. The Iranian love of gardens was celebrated in poetry, yet textile patterns composed of blossoming plants only became fashionable in the 1630s, most likely inspired by European botanical engravings, and they dominated for the next 200 years. This design of composite plants within a curving ogival lattice is typically Iranian in the combination of blossoms with a prominent iris, range of colours, and technique with wefts floating, rather than bound in, across the back. However, the lattice layout framing blossoms were, on a larger scale, a hallmark of Ottoman Turkey

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Lampas fragment with blossoms in ogival lattice, dating back to the 1600s. The creator of this exquisite piece remains unknown, adding an air of mystery and intrigue to its beauty. The Iranian love for gardens is well-documented in poetry, but it wasn't until the 1630s that textile patterns featuring blooming plants gained popularity. It is believed that these designs were influenced by European botanical engravings and went on to dominate Iranian textiles for the next two centuries. What makes this design particularly Iranian is the combination of various blossoms, prominently featuring an iris, vibrant colors, and a unique weaving technique where wefts float across the back rather than being bound in. However, it's worth noting that the lattice layout framing the blossoms was also characteristic of Ottoman Turkey on a larger scale. Crafted from lampas silk and silver metal thread during the Safavid period, this textile artifact now resides at The Cleveland Museum of Art. Its origins may be shrouded in anonymity, but its undeniable allure continues to captivate art enthusiasts worldwide. Heritage Art/Heritage Images has skillfully captured every intricate detail through their photography expertise. This image serves as a testament to both Iran's rich artistic heritage and Heritage Art's commitment to preserving cultural treasures through visual storytelling.
