EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 17th or 18th century textile piece, titled "Cover, Turkey," is an unidentified masterpiece of unknown origin now housed in the Art Institute of Chicago's textile collection. The intricately designed cover, made of linen plain weave embroidered in silk in large-scale floral motifs, showcases the rich artistic heritage of Turkey during the late Sultanate period. The cover is adorned with a stunning array of floral and leaf motifs, each meticulously stitched in vibrant colors and silk threads. The central design is pieced in a contrasting cotton plain weave, adding depth and texture to the overall composition. The back of the cover is also made of cotton plain weave, suggesting that it was intended for functional use as a cover or table runner. The artistry and craftsmanship displayed in this textile are a testament to the high level of skill and creativity that flourished in Turkey during the late Seventeenth and Eighteenth centuries. The intricate needlework and precise weaving techniques used in creating this cover demonstrate the importance of textile arts in Turkish culture and the influence of Ottoman design on European decorative arts. This cover is a valuable addition to the Art Institute of Chicago's extensive collection of textiles and a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of Turkey. Its intricate design and beautiful colors continue to captivate viewers and inspire appreciation for the artistry of the past.
