This captivating vintage ottoman, dating back to the 1990s, showcases the exquisite beauty of Assuit fabric, a distinctive Egyptian textile steeped in history and tradition. Originating in Cairo, this particular fabric, sourced in 1981, exemplifies the artistry of Assuit, known for its delicate patterns created by hand-sewing thin strips of hammered metal, in this case silver (testing between 12% and 14%), onto a base of fine netting. The resulting shimmering effect and intricate designs lend an air of opulence and cultural richness to the piece. Newly reupholstered, this ottoman offers a unique opportunity to own a functional work of art that embodies both elegance and a tangible connection to Egyptian heritage. The tufted detailing further enhances the ottoman's luxurious appeal, creating a harmonious blend of texture and visual interest, making it a stylish statement piece. In beautiful condition.
