Length of Brocatelle Textile

Cleveland Museum of Art

Length of Brocatelle Textile by artist unknown. The image shows a rectangular piece of fabric with a repeating pattern. The fabric has a frayed edge on all sides. The main body of the fabric features a large, symmetrical design in a muted red color on a beige background. The design consists of intricate floral patterns and shapes, arranged in a central motif that is mirrored on either side. Below the main design, a smaller, similar pattern is visible. The fabric appears to be made of a thick, woven material, possibly silk or wool. The background behind the fabric is light gray.
