EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite fragment of a 18th century Turkish cushion cover, hailing from the Anatolia region of Asia Minor, showcases the rich artistic heritage of Bursa, a city renowned for its textile industry during this period. The fragment, which measures approximately 13.5 x 13.5 inches, is adorned with a vibrant floral motif, featuring intricately woven red and gold silk velvet petals against a dark background. The golden hues of the design add an ethereal glow to the piece, while the red petals provide a striking contrast. The cushion cover, which is believed to date back to the eighteenth century, is a testament to the masterful weaving techniques and artistic vision of its unknown creator. The fragment's intricate pattern is reminiscent of the floral motifs commonly found in Turkish textiles from this era, reflecting the influence of the Ottoman Empire's artistic traditions. This precious fragment is now part of the esteemed collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, where it is preserved and showcased for the world to appreciate. The Art Institute's textile department is home to an extensive collection of textiles from around the world, with a particular focus on Asian and Middle Eastern textiles. This fragment serves as a reminder of the artistic and cultural significance of textiles in the history of art and design. The fragment's intricate design and beautiful color palette make it a captivating object of study for scholars and textile enthusiasts alike. Its preservation in the Art Institute of Chicago ensures that future generations can continue to be inspired by the artistic achievements of the past.
