FORMAL JACKET IN BINDALLI EMBROIDERY in red velvet embroidered with gold metallic threads punctuated with circular gold metal plates and sequins, decorated with foliage and bouquets of flowers. Lined with pink silk. (Worn). Probably Ottoman Turkey for Europe, circa 1900. A BINDALI THREAD RED VELVET JACKET, PROBABLY OTTOMAN TURKEY FOR EUROPE, CIRCA 1900. LONG. 69 CM (27 3/16 IN.) - WIDTH (MAX) 120,5 CM (47 7/16 IN.) NOTE This very fine red velvet jacket is richly decorated with numerous floral scrolls embroidered in the "bindali" technique found mainly in the Ottoman Empire. However, the cut of the jacket does not seem to be oriental, but rather reminiscent of a European ceremonial jacket.
