Taffeta with Fruit and Foliate Design

China National Silk Museum

China National Silk Museum
Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China

This pattern realistically depicts various types of fruit and flowers. The ground of the fabric is comprised of a single layer of plain weave, making it exquisitely dense. The floral areas consist of polychromatic weft created using a swivel weave technique, and the same floral pattern is repeated using dots of varying colors. Overall, the ground of the fabric is refreshingly light and wispy, and the flowers are exquisitely designed to appear three-dimensional, accentuating each other to create greater contrast.
