"Large Hammam Or Peshtemal Towel In Terry Cotton Embroidered With Silver - Ottoman Greece, Late 19th Century"

Late 19th Century Greece. Rare hammam towel or Peshtemal in white looped cotton, densely embroidered with silver threads. This ritual hammam towel originates from Ottoman Greece. The weave is complex, a ribbed basin type, alternating twill stripes on one side and looped terry cloth sections for the body on the other. The embroidery is double-sided and displays a dense design of daisies in a lattice pattern framed by wide floral borders. It has original, tapered cotton fringes on both ends. The piece is clean and has been cleaned, retaining only slight and discreet stains; there are no other defects. Overall, it is in good structural condition. A rare piece. Dimensions: 180 cm x 109 cm.
