Polonaise Carpet. Dimensions: Rug: H. 160 in. (406.4 cm)W. 69 5/8 in. (176.8 cm). Date: 17th century.This carpet, one of a matching pair, belongs to a type known as "Polonaise," noted for its silk pile, pastel color palette, and extensive use of gold- and silver-metal-wrapped thread. The designation "Polonaise" reflects the (incorrect) nineteenth-century belief that carpets of this type were from Poland, a notion derived from the presence of similar carpets bearing European coats of arms. In fact, these carpets were made in Iran and shipped abroad in large numbers. Many were also brought to Europe by Persian embassies as gifts from the shahs, and some were commissioned in Iran by visiting Europeans. Though Polonaise carpets are relatively common, the design of overlapping cartouches seen here is rare. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

Date: ca. 1470.Geometric designs such as the ones in this fragment are found ornamenting a wide variety of media produced in Nasrid period (1232-1492) Spain, including tile work, woodwork, book binding, and painted stucco. The basic principles of this design includes scrolling and floral motifs, as well as the classic eight-pointed star, here enclosed in a scalloped medallion. Such bold designs recall the famous wall patterns in the Alhambra palace in Granada. In both the plaster and tile work of the buildings in the palace, designs are closely related to the forms in this weaving. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

The 'Nigde' Carpet. Dimensions: Rug: H. 298 in. (755.7 cm)W. 121 1/2 in. (308.6 cm)Tube: H. 128 in. (325.1 cm) W. 10 in. (25.4 cm). Date: 18th century.The so-called "Nigde Carpet," one of the most famous Islamic carpets, was allegedly discovered in a mosque in the central Anatolian city of Nigde but was probably produced in northwest Iran or Transcaucasia. The origins of its design are indisputably Iranian, as is its overall layout of ogival forms. The composition may have been inspired by a silk textile layout, possibly filtered through the production of the ogival-layout rugs woven in the so-called "vase carpet technique" in Kirman in the seventeenth century. Although mutated into angular and geometric forms, the basic design elements of sinuous Chinese cloud-bands, lotus-flower palmettes, and curved leaves, all part of the rich vocabulary of Safavid carpets, are clearly identifiable in this carpet.

Textile fragment 1600-1799 Russian This object is from the collection of Natalia de Shabelsky (1841-1905), a Russian noblewoman compelled to preserve what she perceived as the vanishing folk art traditions of her native country. Traveling extensively throughout Great Russia, she collected many fine examples of textile art of the wealthy peasant class. From the 1870s until moving to France in 1902, Shabelsky amassed a large collection of intricately embroidered hand-woven household textiles and opulent festival garments with rich decoration and elaborate motifs. The Brooklyn Museum holdings include many fine examples including the majority of the garments. Portions of Shabelsky's collection are also housed at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Cleveland Art Museum, and the Russian Museum of Ethnography in St. Petersburg.Naboyka are block-printed textiles used for clothing as well as household objects and book bindings. The design motifs of these textiles are very old, dating to as ear

"Lotto" Carpet ca. 1600 Carpets displaying this striking design of stylized vegetal arabesques in yellow on a red background are often called "Lottos," after a famous altarpiece by the Italian Renaissance painter Lorenzo Lotto that depicts a similar textile. The number of examples held in European collections and depicted in paintings suggests that the carpets were popular in Europe. They were probably woven in several different places and over an extended period of time. While the earliest examples with this pattern likely date from before 1500, the design remained popular for hundreds of years, through the late eighteenth century.. "Lotto" Carpet 452845
