AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Presenting a unique lot of richly decorated Usak Kelim cushion covers, hand-crafted in Turkey during the 1930s-1950s. These pieces are excellent examples of Anatolian textile art, featuring vivid, saturated colors achieved through "Kök Boya" (traditional natural root dyes).
Key Specifications:
• Dimensions: 40 x 40 cm each.
• Material: 100% Wool (Wool-on-wool technique).
• Condition: Perfect condition; professionally cleaned and ready for immediate use.
• Design: Continuous geometric patterns featuring stripes.
• Fast Delivery: Shipped securely via UPS or FedEx (1–5 day delivery to Europe).
Cultural Significance: Beyond their aesthetic beauty, these cushions carry deep meaning. The hand-knotted symbols are traditionally believed to protect the owner from the "evil eye" and invite prosperity and wealth into the home. These are not just home decor; they are fruits of patience and cultural heritage, crafted by artisans who understood that true art cannot be rushed.
Note: These items are sold as cushion covers only (inserts/stuffing not included).
