This taqsirah vest is a rare piece, in incredible condition, and appears to have been barely worn, with no visible wear to the tahriri stitch work. It features traditional tahriri embroidery with silk floss detailing and a soft black silk lining.
Likely handcrafted in the late 1940s to early 1950s, the tahriri work is executed with a thin metal thread, a characteristic of pre and early post Nakba pieces.
The design centers the Ottoman medallion, a key motif in many taqsirah garments. Taqsirahs vary widely in design and silhouette, often reflecting the maker’s hand and the wearer’s personal taste.
Measurements laid flat
Armpit to armpit 16.5”
Shoulder to hem 16”
Fit
Best fits XS to S, depending on desired fit.
