Cloud Bands
What you seeA repeating field on cream: rows of the cintamani motif, three blue balls each marked with a pale crescent above two red wavy lines, alternating with running gold cloud bands that curl at every crest.
What it meansThe cloud band came into Persian and Ottoman art from Chinese ornament in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. The cintamani, three balls with paired wavy lines, appears often on Ottoman silks and velvets; its origins and meaning are still debated.
Where it worksA lively pattern for a bedroom, a hallway or a dressing room.
