“Ulu Çınar – 22K Gold Turkish Ebru Wall Art”

Ulu Çınar is an original and collectible work that brings together traditional Turkish arts, Ottoman aesthetics, and historical symbolism.

At the heart of the composition is the plane tree, symbolizing rootedness, continuity, and a civilization passed down through generations.

The composition is created on a specially prepared marbled paper (Ebru), while the leaves of the plane tree are meticulously worked in 22-karat gold. The natural, one-of-a-kind movement of the Ebru paper, combined with the luminous quality of gold, gives the work a distinctive sense of depth, elegance, and refinement.

The work also features an Ottoman Tughra and Basmala. The special textile fragment incorporated into the composition is stated to be an original fragment from the kaftan of Osman Gazi.
