EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 17th century Cushion Cover hails from Anatolia, the historical region in modern-day Turkey. The precise origin of this masterpiece is unknown, but it is believed to have been produced in the city of Bursa, a center of textile artistry during the Ottoman Empire. The cushion cover is adorned with intricate circular and floral motifs, woven in golden silk velvet against a rich red background. The design is a testament to the artistic heritage of Asia Minor, showcasing the exceptional skill of the weaver. The motifs, reminiscent of natural elements, are arranged in a harmonious pattern that adds to the allure of this object. The golden circle motifs are particularly noteworthy, their radiant sheen adding an element of luxury and sophistication. The velvet fabric, a prized material during the 17th century, lends a plush texture to the cushion cover, making it an essential addition to any decor. This stunning artifact is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of Turkey and the artistic prowess of its people during the Ottoman era. It is currently housed in the Textiles department of the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
