This exquisite textile print, believed to date from the late 16th or early 17th century, showcases the rich artistic heritage of Cover, Turkey. The intricately designed fabric, created by an unknown artist, is a stunning example of the region's renowned textile tradition. The principal unit of the design features a large three-petal tulip, supported by two smaller tulips and two serrated leaves, set against a field covered with alternate vertical rows of floral palmettes. The edging of the fabric is adorned with additional palmette motifs, adding to the overall visual impact. The floral motif is a common theme in Turkish textiles of this period, reflecting the country's natural beauty and the influence of Persian and European artistic styles. The secondary unit of the design suggests a carnation, adding to the diversity of the floral palette. The textile's intricate weaving technique and vibrant color palette are a testament to the skill and artistry of the unknown artist. This beautiful piece of art is now part of the permanent collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world. The textile's intricate design and historical significance make it a valuable addition to any art center or gallery, and a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of Turkey during the 16th and 17th centuries.
