Style No. 85886984; Color Code:
This pillow is inspired by a textile from Uzbekistan, handmade in the traditional suzani embroidery technique and consists of delicate silk embroidery on a silk-cotton blend backing. Suzani, which is embroidered with a tambour hook, is a classic Central Asian textile characterized by flowers and meandering vines. A specialist known as a chizmachi draws out the suzani pattern, then each fabric strip is given to an embroiderer, and finally the finished pieces are sewn back together. The result is a grand work created by several hands, producing charming irregularities and subtle mismatches that balance out the precision of the stitch. The flower designs seen here are symbolic of fertility and fruitfulness. These textiles are traditionally used as wall hangings or as a woman's marriage dowry. The suzani's decorative embroidery is also thought to possess a protective element.
The pillow front is is a cotton linen blend, finished with our flax linen backing, and closed by an exposed zipper with a gold pull. The cushion is stuffed with an oversized down insert.
Please remove the down insert before cleaning your pillow cover, then spot clean.
