Textile - Persian Canvas Work Fragment, Late 19th century

Physical description

Fine canvas embroidery in silk twisted threads in blue, green, rust and beige.
May be a Persian textile. Part of an embroidered waistcoat said to have been the property of a relative of the donor (who was a Captain of the East India Company) used for his official dress in the late 19th century.
This could possibly be a piece of 16th century Persian tapestry.
