EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 17th century cushion cover, hailing from Anatolia, Turkey, showcases the rich artistic heritage of the region. The exact date of its creation is estimated to be around 1601/50, but the identity of the creator remains unknown. The cover is a testament to the intricate weaving techniques and vibrant color palette that were prevalent during this period. The design is adorned with a captivating array of circular and floral motifs, woven in gold and red velvet. The golden circle motifs are meticulously placed against a red background, creating a striking contrast and adding an element of sophistication. The floral motifs, with their delicate and intricate patterns, add a touch of elegance and grace to the piece. Originating from the city of Bursa, this cushion cover is a prime example of the textile art that flourished in Asia Minor during the seventeenth century. It is a reminder of the cultural exchange that took place between the East and the West during this period, as well as the artistic traditions that were unique to Anatolia. This cushion cover is now part of the esteemed collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, where it is displayed as a cherished object of artistic and historical significance. Its presence in the gallery serves as a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of Turkey and the importance of preserving and celebrating such cultural treasures.
