Antique Embroidery

Embroidery is a kind of handkerchief used for the protection of oil, food pieces and other similar materials. When we look at the Ottoman period, it is possible to see many oil embroideries decorated with various motifs. Generally one or two corners of the tenter and pulleys are embroidered with silk thread.

Muşabbak, suzeni, Türk isi (Turkish work), hesap isi work, pesent, gozeme, openwork, winding, wire breaking techniques such as processing are the best examples of this diversity.
