Definition<\/a>: “Velvet<\/b> is a type of woven tufted fabric<\/a> in which the cut threads<\/a> are evenly distributed, with a short dense pile<\/a>, giving it a distinctive feel.<\/p>\n

The word ‘velvety’ is used as an adjective to mean “smooth like velvet.” Velvet can be either synthetic or natural.<\/p>\n

Traditionally, velvet is associated with nobility<\/a>. Velvet was introduced to Baghdad<\/a> during the rule of Harun al-Rashid<\/a> by Kashmiri<\/a> merchants and to Al-Andalus<\/a> by Ziryab<\/a>. In the Mamluk<\/a> era, Cairo<\/a> was the world’s largest producer of velvet. Much of it was exported to Venice<\/a>, Al-Andalus<\/a> and the Mali Empire<\/a>. Musa I of Mali<\/a>, the ruler of the Mali Empire<\/a>, visited Cairo<\/a> on his pilgrimage to Mecca<\/a>. Many Arab velvet makers accompanied him back to Timbuktu<\/a>. Later Ibn Battuta<\/a> mentions how Suleyman (mansa)<\/a> the ruler of Mali wore a locally produced complete crimson Velvet caftan on Eid<\/a>. During the reign of Mehmed II<\/a>, assistant cooks wore blue-coloured dresses (c\u00e2me-i keb\u00fbd<\/i>), conical hats (k\u00fcl\u00e2h<\/i>) and baggy trousers (\u00e7aksir<\/i>) made from Bursa velvet.[citation needed<\/a><\/i>]<\/sup><\/p>\n

King Richard II of England<\/a> directed in his will that his body should be clothed in velveto<\/i> in 1399.[1]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

The earliest sources of European artistic velvets were Lucca<\/a>, Genoa<\/a>, Florence<\/a> and Venice<\/a>, which continued to send out rich velvet textures. Somewhat later the art was taken up by Flemish<\/a> weavers, and in the sixteenth century, Bruges<\/a> attained a reputation for velvets that were not inferior to those of the great Italian cities.”<\/p>\n
