* Clothing. A rare blue sprang sash, probably Hungarian or Turkish, circa 1620, long sash of blue fine silk, worked in the sprang technique, probably with a circular warp, with a number of different repeated horizontal patterns, including stylised cockerels, ships, women wearing high-waisted dresses, and men wearing hats and wide breeches with arms akimbo, short ends with 28 cm (11 ins) long twisted fringe, some very minor light discolouration in places, several small holes or splits (largest 3 cm long), width (when not stretched) 38 cm (15 ins), length (excluding fringe) 4.11 metres (13.5 foot)QTY: (1)NOTE:Provenance: By descent through the Enys Family of Penryn, Cornwall, at least until the time of exhibition (see below).A remarkable survival, in very good condition, this sash was exhibited, along with a red one similar, under the title 'The Enys Family Sashes' at a Civil War Exhibition at the Royal Cornwall Museum in 1992/3 (lent by the Trustees of the Enys estate, by permission of Professor Gordon Leonard Rogers who inherited the estate in 1980). Eminent clothing historian Janet Arnold (1932-1998) examined the sashes at that time, and dated the blue one to circa 1620. The V&A has a similar, though later, sprang sash in the more commonly found red hue (accession number T.193-1957).Enys family tradition was that both sashes had been worn by family members during the English Civil War, although there is no documentary evidence for this. Such sashes were indeed worn by senior military officers, and were known to have had a practical as well as a decorative purpose; such is their tensile strength (silk being five times stronger than steel) and ability to stretch laterally (due to the sprang technique), that they were used as stretchers to carry wounded men off the battlefield. A sprang sash of circa 1709 in the collection at George Washington's Mount Vernon (object number W-86) was apparently used to transport the fatally wounded Major General Edward Braddock during the Battle of the Monongahela in 1755 (he managed to present his sash to George Washington, his aide-de-camp, before expiring four days later).After the Royal Cornwall Museum exhibition two of the curators there wrote an article for the museum's biannual newsletter (RIC Newsletter 13, April 1993: full text available), in which the Enys sashes are compared to early 17th century sprang sash fragments in the National Museum of Hungary. The article concludes that it is highly probable that the blue sash is early 17th century and Hungarian in origin, although it has also been suggested by other scholars that the fragments came from Istanbul. George Rákóczi, Prince of Transylvania (1593-1648) ordered sprang sashes from the Turkish capital several times, where it seems from extant correspondence that such sashes were hard to come by, only one aged woman being proficient in the technique (see The Influence of Ottoman Turkish Textiles and Costume in Eastern Europe with particular reference to Hungary, by Veronika Gervers, Royal Ontario Museum, 1982). By whose hand this blue sash and its red companion were made, and how they came to be in the possession of the Enys family, is lost in the mists of time, but their worth was clearly known by the family, who passed them down the generations until the end of the 20th century when financial decisions had to be taken to ensure the survival of the estate.
