Üçetek Entari

Late 19th century

Sadberk Hanım Museum

Sadberk Hanım Museum
İstanbul, Türkiye

The üçetek entari is made of yellow silk and embroidered in the laid cord technique. It has a stand-up collar and long trailing skirt and sleeves. It is fastened across the chest by button loops and plaited buttons. There is a watch pocket on the bodice. Bands of embroidery in coloured silk cord run along the edges of the skirt, sleeves, slits and gore seams, and all the edges are scalloped and decorated with trimming worked in matching motifs using coloured silk cord. The entari belonged to the family of Osman Hamdi Bey, the painter and the founder of İstanbul Archeaology Museums. It is thought to be the same robe worn by his wife Naile Hanım when posing for his painting Girl Arranging flowers in 1881.
