Circa 1880-1900 Morocco A chest cover in Fez embroidery in several shades of red dating from the Belle Epoque. Very fine embroidery in red silk thread on cream cotton in a range of red, from burgundy to scarlet red, and from Fuschia to coral!. The decoration is dense with nested diamonds of the Arab-Andalusian type reminiscent of the moucharabieh.

Beautiful Moroccan art object! No defects. Note that I have rarely had in my hands Fez embroidery of this quality. Excellent condition of color and conservation.
