Very fluid and soft fabric. Very pleasing to the skin. Ideal for historical costume and various DIY projects. The visual effect is very similar to that of our 100% silk brocade. It is therefore the ideal choice for customers on a tighter budget who still want to purchase a quality fabric.
A few words about this fabric
This fabric was produced into Byzantines workshops, most probably between 800-900 AD. Original artifact now stored at the "Museo Sacro", Italy.
The decoration represents a hunting scene, as in many Byzantine silk brocades. Thus, this brocade is similar to the so-called "Bahram Gur" copies although it is of a slightly different type.
This brocade was undoubtedly very popular at the beginning of the Middle Ages:
We have indeed exhumed, during archaeological excavations, fragments of this brocade in Scandinavia, on the Viking site of Oseberg.
Another fragment is kept in the Muséo Sacro in the Vatican.
This fabric will be suitable for both a Byzantine reenactor, a Viking, see a Carolingian, since Northern Italy was under Carolingian domination / influence at the beginning of the 9th century.
