Turquoise Ikat Silk Velvet Cushion Cover 16''x16'' / 40x40 CM
This exquisite handmade silk velvet cushion cover features a captivating pattern dominated by a stylised floral motif strongly suggestive of a carnation, rendered in a rich turquoise hue against a lighter background. The central element within the repeating ovoid shapes displays the characteristic fringed or serrated edges of carnation petals radiating from a central point. The intentional blurring and softened lines are telltale signs of the ikat dyeing technique, a method with deep historical roots along ancient trade routes, particularly the Silk Road, where resist-dyeing traditions flourished. This textile artistry imbues the design with a unique sense of movement and depth, celebrating the skilled hand of the artisan and connecting the piece to a long and revered history of textile creation.
The carnation itself holds cultural significance in various parts of the world. In European art and history, it has been associated with love, beauty and royalty. Its inclusion in Ottoman decorative arts alongside other favored blooms like tulips and hyacinths speaks to a broader appreciation for floral motifs as symbols of beauty and prosperity. The ikat technique, with its inherent unpredictability and artistic flair, further elevates this cushion, transforming a familiar floral form into a unique and visually compelling design. The luxurious silk velvet enhances the richness of the turquoise color and the tactile appeal, making this cushion a sophisticated accent that subtly whispers tales of artistic heritage and cultural exchange. Perfect as a centerpiece for your sofa, armchair, or bed, this cushion cover is a celebration of timeless artistry and high-end style.
