Purchased in Haidarabad, Deccan. Kashmir; early 18th century. Late Mogul style and period\r\n\r\nDirector - \n\nFor sanction to purchase @ £15 (fifteen pounds) the rare examples of Kashmiri (Mogul) early 18th century hand coverings and foot coverings for men (four pairs of gloves and three pairs of socks) described on the Purchase Form. They were discovered some years ago in the wardrobe-storage (Tosha-khana) of H.H. the Nizam of Haidarabad, and were probably made in Srinagar, Kashmir, for the City of Haidarabad during the reign of the Nizam Asaf Jah (1713-1748) of Turkoman descent, who had previously served under the Delhi emperor Aurangzib. The above, woven with sprig, floral-trellis, flower-scroll and other patterns in fine coloured wools, are extraordinary examples of the Kashmiri <strike>loom-work</strike> knitting of the Mogul period [...]\n\nNote. The experts of the Royal School of Art Needlework, as well as Miss Preece and Mr Culin (Brooklyn Museum), after careful examination, consider that all of the above are knitted, and that the finely (closely) worked examples have required a special hooked needle of the crochet-hook order. </i>","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Pair of men's gloves, pashmina worked in 'Afghan' or 'Tunisian' crochet, probably Kashmir, 18th century to early 19th century.
