Item Details.

Antique Ottoman Silk Velvet Textile.
This is a very beautiful voided silk velvet mat / yastik cushion cover.

Made in the Ottoman Empire during the 18th century (if not earlier).
Bursa or Istanbul.

Made with natural vegetable dyes in a stunning colour combination of indigo blues with magenta pink against a cream ground.
Featuring floral patterns and symbols of fertility, suggesting that it was perhaps intended as a wedding gift.

There is a very similar example in the Minneapolis Institute of Art:

A wonderful textile that displays well on a wall.
Condition:
For its age it is in very good antique condition. Some fading to colours and antique wear from centuries of use.
Please study the photographs as they form an important part of the description.

Measurements:

89 x 54.5 cm
