Such silks were expensive, worn largely at court. They were pieced together economically. The silk was probably woven in Valencia, the most important centre of silk weaving in 18th-century Spain. At least eleven different supplementary weft colours are used, the texture enhanced through the use of loosely and highly twisted threads. \n\nThe design is, however, in the dominant French taste: Lyon in south-east France had become the premier centre of fashionable silk production from the late 17th century onwards, acting as a model for other manufactures. Dynastic and trade relationships between Spain and France were particularly strong. From 1700 onwards a Bourbon king sat on the Spanish throne. ","physicalDescription":"Patterned silk with ivory satin ground. Brocaded with a repeating pattern of flowers, ships, birds, human figures and lions; the brocading threads are both loosely (floss) and tightly (<i>cordonnet</i>) twisted or chenille. Composed of  three fragments, two of which originating from two different patterned silk, both of a later date.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Unknown","id":"A1848"},"association":{"text":"","id":""},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"silk (textile)","id":"AAT243428"}],"techniques":[{"text":"woven","id":"AAT53642"},{"text":"brocading","id":"AAT53648"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"silk; plain weave with brocading","categories":[{"text":"Textiles","id":"THES48885"}],"styles":[{"text":"Baroque","id":"AAT21147"}],"collectionCode":{"text":"T&F","id":"THES48601"},"images":["2019LV4455","2019LV4457","2019LV4458","2019LV4459"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"003","id":"THES309753"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Dress silk fragment","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Valencia","id":"x31243"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":"Valencia was the premier centre of production in Spain at this date."}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1685-1700","earliest":"1685-01-01","latest":"1700-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":"The motifs and the shape of the pieces suggest this date (from a skirt or petticoat)"}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Length","value":"90","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":"Pattern repeat"},{"dimension":"Width","value":"68.5","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":"Maximum width"},{"dimension":"Width","value":"28","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":"Pattern repeat"},{"dimension":"Width","value":"69","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[],"objectHistory":"","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"brocaded satin, 1685-1700, Spanish, Valencia; Figures beasts birds ship flowers chenille frise","bibliographicReferences":[{"reference":{"text":"Miller, Lesley Ellis, and Ana Cabrera Lafuente, with Claire Allen-Johnstone, eds. <u>Silk: Fibre, Fabric and Fashion</u>.
