Precious, intricately made, a signifier of not only taste and wealth but also power and political influence, opulent silk velvet is the star of “Woven Luxuries: Indian, Persian, and Turkish Velvets From the Indictor Collection” at Asian Art Museum. The compact yet compelling exhibit revolves around 10 extremely rare and carefully preserved velvet textiles lent by the Indictor family of New York, spans the 16th through the 18th centuries, and offers a tantalizing glimpse into the royal courts of Islamic powerhouses like Safavid Iran, Mughal India and Ottoman Turkey.
