Pair of Black Dotted Gujarati Mashru Pillows

$285.00
| /

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 Kankani, the traditional micro-dot weave pattern most closely associated with Anjar, Kutch, in charcoal black finished with contrast fuchsia piping. Viewed up close, the tiny woven dots reveal the handloom's fine, deliberate patterning; from a distance, they read as a softly textured solid.

Two squares, sold as a set, for a matched pair flanking a sofa or a single graphic anchor on a daybed.

Era: Vintage, estimated mid 20th century
Origin: Gujarat, Western India (Mashru tradition, Kankani dot-weave pattern, Anjar/Kutch)
Material: Silk warp / cotton weft; fuchsia contrast piping
Size: 19"(W) x 19"(H), sold as a pair
Color: Charcoal black ground, fine white micro-dot pattern, fuchsia piping
Fill: Custom down-blend insert 
Condition: Vintage courtesy of hand-woven irregularities and natural creasing; wear consistent with age, no structural concerns.

A pair of hand-loomed Mashru silk-and-cotton pillows from Gujarat, India, in the traditional Kankani micro-dot pattern on charcoal black.

Q: Should a pair of solid dotted pillows be placed symmetrically or separately? A: Either works, symmetrical placement at either end of a sofa reads as classic and tailored, while splitting the pair across two different seats in the same room lets the subtle texture repeat as a quiet color note rather than a formal set.
