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 1601/25, but the identity of its creator remains a mystery. This intricately designed textile is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the region, specifically from the city of Bursa, which was a significant center for textile production during this period. The cushion cover is a stunning example of the artistic techniques and motifs popular during the seventeenth century in Asia Minor. The primary design elements include a vibrant red floral motif, delicately woven in a satin weave, and adorned with golden gilt and silvered metal strip wrapped silk and cotton satin weave with supplementary brocading wefts. The floral motif is further accentuated by the contrasting two-color cut voided velvet and the intricate silver thread work. The cushion cover's surface is adorned with a variety of motifs, including shell motifs, which were popular during this period. The use of metallic threads adds an extra layer of opulence and sophistication to the design. The haberdashery work is a marvel of the time, showcasing the skill and artistry of the weaver. This textile is a precious object from a bygone era, a time when textiles were not just functional items but works of art in their own right. The cushion cover is now part of the esteemed collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and delight visitors from around the world.
