This print showcases the front and back of a beautifully embroidered bolster case from the 1700s. The intricate craftsmanship is a testament to the skill and artistry of its unknown creator. Embroidered with silk on a linen tabby ground, this piece hails from Epirus, Greece, adding an element of cultural heritage to its already impressive aesthetic. The embroidery work on both sides of the bolster case is nothing short of extraordinary. Delicate patterns and motifs adorn every inch, showcasing meticulous attention to detail. Each stitch tells a story, reflecting the rich history and traditions embedded within Greek textile art. Preserved by The Cleveland Museum of Art, this remarkable artifact offers us a glimpse into centuries past. It serves as a reminder that even everyday objects like bolster cases were once crafted with immense care and artistic flair. Heritage Art/Heritage Images has expertly captured this stunning piece through their lens, allowing viewers to appreciate its beauty in exquisite detail.
