Fabric sample


23” x 14.5” white linen piece with red, blue & mint green embroidered motifs. Part of a panel from a bed tent. Known as “queen” pattern. Similar piece is labeled in the Victoria and Albert Museum as from Rhodes. The “Queen Pattern” stylized trees, peacocks and animals. The title “Queen Pattern” was misleading in English since the Queen was called a “spark” in some places and “branches” in others.
