Product description

Origin & Pattern

This luxurious silk fabric is inspired by a 13th-century Syrian silk textile.

The original textile was produced in Ayyubid sultanate which in 12th and 13th century covered areas of Middle East such as Syria, Palestine and even west Egypt. It is assumed that the textile was made in Syria because of the technology of weaving and pattern both typical for earlier production of eastern Iran whose weavers migrated to Syria to flee the Mongols.

The intricate pattern features paired griffins, foxes, and birds arranged among vine scrolls and palmette trees. The elegant and threatening fox is quite a rare motif which makes this textile quite unique.

Several collections, such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, preserve fragments of the same textile, perhaps part of a tunic.

This pattern reconstruction is the intellectual property of SARTOR BOHEMIA.

Fabric

Like brocade, samite is a fabric where the pattern is woven in. The technique has been known since the Middle Ages. Samite uses a twill weave, which makes it very sturdy. Our reproduction is of pure silk with a thicker silk thread that gives it a slightly pebbly surface. It is supple, with a soft hand, and breathes well.

Application

Reproductions of period fabrics such as this are perfect for sewing historical costumes and also bring something special to modern interiors or contemporary fashions.

Under samite we recommend a lining of a natural material such as silk or fine linen.

Care

We recommend dry cleaning this fabric at a reliable dry cleaner. In our tests how to wash silk this fabric stood up to gentle hand washing. If you risk hand washing, use lukewarm water and a delicate detergent for woolens; do not wring or squeeze dry; block dry on a flat surface. Dry iron on the back on the lowest setting.
