This allowed it to be placed around the customer's neck while he was being shaved.\r\nThe oldest Ottoman embroideries in the V&A date from the 16th or 17th centuries. They are either whole covers and wall hangings or fragments of them. They are decorated with large-scale, bold designs in red, blue, green and yellow, with some white and black.  The oldest patterns, such as this, are formed by the curving lines of a lattice. In this example, the lattice is a delicate floral trail.","physicalDescription":"Shaving robe, linen embroidered with silk in double darning on the diagonal, double running in a line (now worn) and satin stitch.\r\nThis almost square cloth has a semi-circular piece cut from the middle of the top edge.  This would be placed around the customer's neck and has been edged with a fine red border. The field is decorated with a pattern of offset medallions within a fine lattice of delicate floral sprigs in red, green and white. Each medallion is defined by a line of blue and then a line of serrated, red leaves. In the centre is a red and white flower with a pair of blue and red leaves above and below and smaller red and white  flowers around. The base of each medallion is formed by a green stalk and at the top the medallion opens out around a small spray of red and white flowers and green leaves.\r\nMade from two pieces joined horizontally.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Unknown","id":"A1848"},"association":{"text":"","id":""},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"linen","id":"x29412"},{"text":"silk thread","id":"x30127"}],"techniques":[{"text":"weaving","id":"AAT53642"},{"text":"embroidering","id":"AAT53653"},{"text":"sewing","id":"AAT53658"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Linen, embroidered with silk in double darning on the diagonal, double running in a line (now worn) and satin stitch; made from two pieces joined horizontally","categories":[{"text":"Textiles","id":"THES48885"},{"text":"Clothing","id":"THES48975"},{"text":"Embroidery","id":"THES48960"}],"styles":[{"text":"Ottoman","id":"AAT21614"}],"collectionCode":{"text":"MES","id":"THES48607"},"images":["2006AV9179","2006AV9177","2006AV9178","2006AL8109","2011EW6871","2017KJ4550"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"015","id":"THES312578"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Shaving robe","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Turkey","id":"x29225"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1500-1699","earliest":"1500-01-01","latest":"1699-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Length","value":"182","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"186","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[],"objectHistory":"","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"A linen shaving robe embroidered with silk, Turkey, 16th/17th century","bibliographicReferences":[{"reference":{"text":"Marianne Ellis and Jennifer Wearden.
