Vintage courtesy of hand-woven irregularities, slubs, and natural creasing; wear consistent with age, no structural concerns. Button closure. A hand-loomed Mashru silk-and-cotton lumbar pillow from Gujarat, India, with a classic, evenly balanced red, mustard, olive, and blush stripe. Q: What's the practical difference between buying one antique Mashru pillow versus a matched pair? A: A single works as a color accent on any one chair or side of a sofa, while a pair reads as a deliberate design statement, worth considering how much of a visual anchor you want a striped pillow to be in the room before choosing. • **Please bear in mind that colors of products shown may vary slightly from their original color due to monitor display settings or photography studio.

Dealer notes

Woven in Gujarat, western India, from antique Mashru, the traditional silk-warp, cotton-weft cloth prized for its lustrous face and cool cotton hand. A classic, full-balance stripe close to Patan's in this same batch, red, mustard, olive, and blush in even measure, with the soft irregularities and horizontal creasing typical of hand-reeled silk on a narrow village pit loom. Finished with a cotton canvas back and a button closure, filled with a polyfill insert (down-blend upgrade available for an additional cost).
