Size ; 57x60 cm West anatolia, Balıkesir (önlük) A legacy from beyond time... ​This story dates back to the early 1800s, perhaps even earlier. It is an apron (önlük) worn by the skillful women of Balikesir to protect their precious dresses from wear. But it is more than just fabric; hidden in every stitch is a bride’s excitement, and in every motif, the joy of a festive holiday morning. ​The slight imperfections it carries today are like medals of honor... It likely survived until now because it was a rare textile, brought out only for weddings and the most special occasions. Looking at this miracle woven by hands of the past, one can feel the grace and the poignant silence of a journey that has lasted over a century. ​ Detailed information Dm arisoylarmobilya@gmail.com
