EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 17th century cushion cover, hailing from Anatolia, Turkey, showcases the rich artistic heritage of the region. The date of its creation is estimated to be around 1601/25, making it an invaluable piece of historical textile art. The cover, made of silk velvet, is adorned with intricate gold and red designs. The dominant motif is a circle, which is repeated in various sizes and shapes throughout the piece. Floral motifs, including tulips and roses, add to the overall beauty and elegance of the design. The cushion cover was likely produced in Bursa, a city in northwestern Turkey that was renowned for its textile industry during the Ottoman period. The artistry and skillful weaving techniques used in creating this piece are a testament to the high level of craftsmanship that was prevalent during this time. The vibrant colors and patterns on the cushion cover have been preserved over the centuries, allowing us to appreciate the artistry of the unknown creator. The cover's intricate design and use of precious materials demonstrate the importance of textiles in the cultural heritage of Turkey and the broader Asian Minor region. This beautiful cushion cover is now part of the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, where it is displayed as a reminder of the rich artistic traditions of the past. Its intricate design and historical significance make it a must-see for anyone interested in textiles, art, or the history of Turkey and the Ottoman Empire.
