Antique Early Period Greek Embroidery from Epirus, seventeenth century - A sinuous pattern of vines, carnations, and botehs wends its way across the ivory ground of this delicate and exquisite Ottoman period embroidery from the west Balkan, Epirote region. The charm of the piece resides not only in the gentle rhythms of the design, but in the lovely palette of red and soft blues against patinated ivory-tan linen ground, and also in the way that the border and field are comprised of the very same elements.
