Summary[edit]

Description
English: Moroccan Caftan (Mid-19th century) from North-West Morocco (Tangier, Tetouan), photograph from the Smithsonian National Museum of African Art (Washington, United States).

Caftans were worn by both men and women, especially scholars and high-ranking officials who were part of the Moroccan urban elite. This particular type of caftan was probably worn as part of a bridal costume and was likely an early style garment due to the wide sleeves.

Long saffron yellow colored gown of richly brocaded cloth with wide bell-shaped sleeves and no collar. It is decorated with a double row of buttons worked in thread down to the waist. This embroidery called "Khanjar" is typical of Moroccan Caftans from the cities of Tetouan and Tangier. On each side of the row of buttons is an oval shaped design the ends of which extend up and around the collar. The gown itself is embellished with a floral pattern and the edges finished in silk braid. The inside is lined in white cloth and edged in blue.
Français : Caftan Marocain (moitié du XIX e siècle) du Nord-ouest du Maroc (Tanger, Tétouan), photographie du Musée : Smithsonian National Museum of African Art (Washington, États-Unis).

Ce type bien particulier de Caftan était probablement porté dans le cadre d'un costume de mariée. Ses manches larges dénotent un style ancien.

Ce Caftan est de couleur jaune safran, confectionné d'un tissu en brocart luxurieux avec de larges manches en forme de cloche et sans col. Il est orné d'une double rangée de boutons travaillés en fil jusqu'à la taille. De chaque côté de la rangée de boutons se trouve un motif de forme ovale dont les extrémités s'étendent vers le haut et autour du col. Cette broderie appelée "Khanjar" est typique des Caftans marocains des villes de Tétouan et Tanger. Le Caftan lui-même est orné d'un motif floral et les bords sont finis en galon de soie. L’intérieur est doublé de tissu blanc et bordé de bleu.
