EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 17th century Cushion Cover hails from Anatolia, the historical region in modern-day Turkey. The exact creator of this masterpiece remains unknown, adding to its allure and mystery. This artwork is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Asia Minor and the vibrant cultural scene of Bursa during the seventeenth century. The Cushion Cover is a stunning example of Turkish textile art, featuring a captivating design that combines both red and gold hues on a silk and cotton satin weave. The fabric is adorned with intricate circular motifs and floral patterns, meticulously woven with supplementary binding wefts and two-color cut voided velvet. The edges of the cover are elegantly edged with a woven fringe, adding an extra layer of texture and visual interest. This artwork is a feast for the eyes, with its rich colors and intricate patterns that evoke the opulence and grandeur of the Ottoman Empire. The red and gold palette, a common motif in Turkish textiles, represents the power and wealth of the ruling class. The circular motifs, a recurring design element in Anatolian art, symbolize the cycle of life and the interconnectedness of all things. The Cushion Cover is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world. This artwork is not only a beautiful object in its own right but also a valuable historical artifact that offers insights into the artistic traditions and cultural practices of Turkey during the seventeenth century.
