Antique Velvet Cape with Tahriri Stitching
Antique Velvet Cape with Tahriri Stitching
Handmade, early 20th century
This dramatic black velvet cape is a rare antique from the Levant, likely handmade in the early 20th century. It features exquisite Tahriri embroidery—a traditional couching technique used across Palestine and Greater Syria, where gold threads are hand-laid and secured with dyed silk stitching.
Crafted from rich black mukhmal (velvet), the cape fastens at the neck with a metal clasp and gold-threaded tie. Intricate Tahriri motifs shimmer across the surface in radiant, jewel-toned hues created by metallic threads and colored silk.
Designed to drape elegantly, this cape fits US sizes S–XL comfortably.
A beautifully preserved piece of early 20th-century Levantine textile heritage.
Throw it over a cocktail dress or your favorite jeans—blend tradition with your modern-day style.
