Bargello Peacock Weave Candleholder
In Ottoman textile art, from the 15th to the 20th century, Seljuk-inspired motifs were widely used, forming countless compositions with stylized floral elements of Far Eastern origin such as the lotus, palmette, and hatayi. An important collection of Ottoman textiles and velvets is exhibited at the Topkapi Palace Museum. In addition, Ottoman fabric collections can be found in institutions such as the Mevlana Museum in Konya, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the Royal Scottish Museum in Edinburgh, and the Louvre Museum in Paris.
On the Small Peacock Weave Candleholder, the peacock feather motif is combined with interconnected medallion forms to create a distinctive multi-petaled composition. The patterns are inspired by a 17th-century Ottoman textile held in the Bargello Museum in Florence.
