About the Item
Gorgeous decorative bedspread from Eastern Europe or Turkey, dating around the 1940s. These pieces stand out for their exquisite craftsmanship and strong symbolic meaning, a direct legacy of the rich textile tradition of Eastern influence. They display a complex floral design crafted in luxurious silk velvet fabric.
This deep red velvet serves as a background for the profuse floral composition, dominated by a central hexagon with a symmetrical and elegant design. Surrounding it are floral motifs that surround it in the shape of petals, predominantly in warm tones such as reds, ochres, pinks, and greens. In Turkish culture, heavily influenced by Eastern art, flowers are not merely ornamental, but symbolize a wide variety of virtues such as prosperity, beauty, and a connection to the spiritual.
The design is completed with a vegetal and geometric frame, a kind of garland, and on the outside of the quilt, a fringed border frames the piece. This decorative detail not only adds movement but also completes the work with sophistication.
Beyond their textile function, these quilts are cultural witnesses of their time and geography. The patterns that adorn them are inspired by natural elements, ancestral beliefs, and symbolic narratives, characteristic of the decorative art of Eastern Europe and the southern Mediterranean. Their handcrafted craftsmanship requires the highest technical skill and the use of fine materials, ensuring their beauty and durability to this day.
