EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 17th century cushion cover hails from Anatolia, the historical region in modern-day Turkey. The precise date of its creation is estimated to be around 1601/50, making it an invaluable piece of heritage art. The cushion cover is a testament to the rich artistic traditions of Asia Minor, specifically from the city of Bursa, renowned for its textile industry during this period. The cover is adorned with intricate floral motifs, woven in gold and red hues on a velvet background. The golden threads add a regal touch, while the red adds a pop of color, making the design truly captivating. The patterns on the cushion cover are meticulously woven, showcasing the exceptional skill and craftsmanship of the weaver. The floral motifs, inspired by nature, are a common theme in Turkish textiles of the era. The cushion cover is a beautiful example of the artistic fusion of Middle Eastern and European influences that characterized the art of the time. This magnificent object is now part of the esteemed collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, where it is displayed as a proud representative of the artistic heritage of Turkey and the world. The cushion cover is not only an aesthetic delight but also a historical artifact, providing valuable insights into the artistic and cultural practices of the 17th century.
