Jalandhar Mirror, Set of 2 Heirloom Bagh Phulkari Pillows (Trade)

$695.00
| /

This curated set of two 16x24 inch lumbar pillows represents a profound example of Museum-Grade Phulkari, repurposed from a single, rare 19th-century Heirloom Bagh. Known as the "Garden of Flowers," this textile represents the absolute zenith of Punjabi needlecraft, where the base Khaddar cotton is entirely concealed by an unbroken, shimmering layer of Pat silk thread. Hand-stitched with remarkable density, the un-twisted silk reflects light with a metallic brilliance, shifting between tones of deep amber and burnished gold as the surrounding light changes throughout the day. The technical brilliance of "The Jalandhar Mirror" lies in its repetitive, diamond-lattice geometric pattern. By meticulously counting the threads of the base fabric, the artisan has created a symmetrical field of interlocking lozenges that give the textile a three-dimensional, architectural quality. This mirrored pair is exceptionally rare, as it showcases the identical count-thread mastery across both pieces, creating a precise visual balance. As authentic antique artifacts, these pillows naturally exhibit a beautiful, age-earned patina—including delicate thread softening, subtle color variations, and minor surface character marks. These are not flaws but essential proof of the textile’s 100-year history and the organic nature of fibers that have breathed for generations. The substantial 16x24 profile makes this pair a primary room anchor, functioning beautifully as symmetrical statement centerpieces on a deep-seated sofa or as soulful layers on a curated bed. Its intricate geometry and radiant silk make it a natural focal point for JapandiEclectic Modern, or Mediterranean-style interiors. To highlight the heritage craftsmanship, style it sparingly alongside neutral linens or solid velvet textures in deep chocolate or charcoal tones.
