Arabesque Embroidered Glasses Case

Navy blue velvet glasses case with intricate floral scroll embroidery, embellished with beadwork and inspired by the arabesque stitchwork of the sixteenth century. Arabesque pattern, characterised by flowing, interlacing foliage and geometric scrollwork, developed within Islamic decorative art and spread widely across Europe through trade and cultural exchange, going on to influence embroidery, textiles and design well beyond its origins. With a zip tassel closure and satin lining, this case makes a beautiful gift or Christmas stocking filler.
