Yorgan Yuzu Quilt
Yorgan Yuzu refers to embroidered quilt covers from the Ottoman period, used as decorative coverings for bedding. These textiles are often richly decorated with floral patterns and intricate embroidery, reflecting Ottoman aesthetic traditions. They were an important part of domestic and ceremonial textile use. The beautifully embroidered napkins and towels of Ottoman Turkey are well known and relatively uncontroversial. Two other equally familiar types of Ottoman domestic embroidery are almost invariably misidentified in the West as curtains or hangings.. According to some scholars these are originally intented as quilt facings and mirror covers.
