Servet met mogelijk Engelse emblemen c. 1600

This linen damask textile, created by an anonymous artist around 1600, is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. The design features a white, repeating pattern of intricate floral motifs, possibly English emblems, woven into a light grey background. The textile's borders exhibit a unique pattern of interlaced squares, adding a geometric element to the overall design. This damask cloth exemplifies the intricate craftsmanship of textile weaving during the early modern period and showcases the popularity of floral patterns in decorative arts.
