Pair of Bhuj Striped Mashru Lumbar Pillows

Woven in Gujarat, western India, from antique Mashru, the traditional silk-warp, cotton-weft cloth prized for its lustrous face and cool cotton hand. This pair carries Mashru's signature warp-stripe pattern in madder red, bottle green, and blush pink, separated by fine pinstripes, with the soft irregularities and horizontal creasing that come from hand-reeled silk on a narrow village pit loom. Each cover is finished with a cotton canvas back and a button closure, and comes filled with a polyfill insert (down-blend insert upgrade available for an additional cost). Two lumbars, sold as a set. Bring them together on a daybed or sofa for a graphic run of color, or split the pair across two chairs for a matched accent that still reads as intentional rather than uniform. Era: Vintage, estimated late 19th–mid 20th century Origin: Gujarat, Western India (Mashru weaving tradition) Material: Silk warp / cotton weft (Mashru weave); cotton canvas back Size: 22"(W) x 12"(H), sold as a pair Color: Madder red, bottle green, blush pink, fine pinstripe 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 pair of hand-loomed Mashru silk-and-cotton lumbar pillows from Gujarat, India, in a red, green, and blush warp-stripe pattern. Q: How can I tell genuine antique Mashru from a modern reproduction? A: Genuine Mashru has a silk face with a cooler, matte cotton reverse, since the warp and weft are different fibers, not printed to look that way. Hand-loomed pieces also show slight width irregularities in the stripes and soft horizontal ribbing from the pit-loom weave, both absent on machine-woven reproductions. • **Please bear in mind that colors of products shown may vary slightly from their original color due to monitor display settings or photography studio.
