EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 17th century cushion cover hails from Anatolia, the historical region in modern-day Turkey. The exact location of its origin is unknown, but it is believed to have been produced in the city of Bursa, a center of textile artistry during this period. The cover is adorned with intricate gold and red designs, featuring both circular and leaf motifs. The velvet fabric, a sign of luxury and wealth during the seventeenth century, has been skillfully woven to create this stunning piece. The circle motif, a common element in Turkish textiles of the time, is depicted in gold thread against a rich red background. The leaf motif, another popular design, adds a natural touch to the cover, evoking the beauty of the Anatolian landscape. The use of gold thread not only adds a regal touch but also highlights the intricacy of the design. The cushion cover is a testament to the rich heritage of Turkish art, particularly in the field of textiles. It is a reminder of the artistic traditions that flourished in Asia Minor during the seventeenth century, a time when Bursa was a hub of textile production. The cover's intricate patterns and vibrant colors continue to captivate viewers, making it a valuable addition to any art collection or gallery. This beautiful piece, with its golden threads and red velvet, is a visual feast for the eyes and a reminder of the artistic heritage of Turkey. Its intricate designs and rich colors transport us to another time and place, inviting us to appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship of the past.
