EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning panel of red cut velvet adorned with intricate carnation palmettes in gold and silver. Created by the Turkish School in the 17th century, this exquisite piece measures 155.7x53.5 cm and is currently housed at the Fitzwilliam Museum, University of Cambridge, UK. The panel represents a rare find as it is the only known pattern of Turkish velvet with pile in three different colors. It offers a glimpse into the rich history of large velvet summer carpets produced in Bursa, Northwest Turkey during the Ottoman period. These luxurious carpets were highly sought after and primarily exported to Europe. The vibrant red hue serves as a backdrop for the elaborate motifs that adorn this textile masterpiece. The intricate carnation palmettes, delicately woven with gold and silver threads, add an opulent touch to its overall design. This photograph not only captures the beauty of this historic artwork but also highlights its significance within textile art history. The detailed patterns and meticulous craftsmanship showcased here exemplify the skillful techniques employed by Turkish artisans during this era. As we admire this mesmerizing print from Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to appreciate both the artistic mastery behind it and its cultural importance as an emblematic representation of Ottoman textiles.
