Mira Striped Gujarati Mashru Lumbar Pillow

Woven in Gujarat, western India, from antique Mashru, the traditional silk-warp, cotton-weft cloth prized for its lustrous face and cool cotton hand. The palest piece in this batch, cream and blush read wide against thin, muted red and mustard lines, a near-pastel take on the pattern, 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). Era: Vintage, estimated late 19th–mid 20th century Origin: Gujarat, Western India (Mashru tradition) Material: Silk warp / cotton weft; cotton canvas back Size: 22"(W) x 12"(H) Color: Cream and blush (wide, dominant), muted red, mustard Fill: Polyfill insert included; down-blend insert available as a paid upgrade Condition: 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, in a pale, near-pastel cream and blush stripe. Q: Why does the color intensity vary so much across antique Mashru pieces from the same region? A: Each piece was cut from a different original bolt, dyed in a separate small batch on a village loom, so tonal range piece to piece is a genuine feature of hand production, not an inconsistency to correct for. • **Please bear in mind that colors of products shown may vary slightly from their original color due to monitor display settings or photography studio.
