A RED RESCHT EMBROIDERED PANEL AND A EUROPEAN-PRINTED SQUARE MANTLE PROPERTY FROM A PRIVATE WEST LONDON COLLECTOR Caspian region, Northern Iran and Europe, early 20th century Comprising a rectangular Rescht panel of red wool face cloth, chain-stitched in coloured silks with an elongated lobed floral cartouche, each end enhanced with a green parakeet, the border with a repeating floral frieze, the inner corners featuring flower-filled buti, edged with yellow silk trim, lined in joined European cotton, the purple ground printed with a repeating grid with six-pointed stars at intersections, hung with rose swags, each with an elegant standing lady in a broad-brimmed straw hat and short dress, wearing a cross necklace, collecting roses for her basket, 110cm x 76cm; and a European square mantle of fine ivory wool, printed with repeating rows of palmettes in red and ochre within black outlines, the border with a radiating paisley design of alternating palmettes, edged with black bias-cut cotton, lined in joined floral cotton, 116cm x 108cm. The chromatically exuberant Rescht panel, though modest in size and ambition, reveals the taste for the more modern Russian and European stance in the choice of its lining, resembling a circus poster.
