A large floral medallion in raised, hand-embroidered satin stitch anchors the center of this pillow — radiating palmette motifs in red, gold, and olive green surround a cream Suzani-style center medallion, worked by hand across a solid earth brown cotton canvas ground. This is a DE-COR design, hand-embroidered by artisans in the Suzani tradition and translated onto a fresh, tailored pillow construction rather than a vintage textile. Multicolor floral and vine work in the Suzani tradition brings warmth and craft-forward texture to a simple, solid ground, with a zip closure keeping the construction clean. At 16" square, this size layers easily as an accent alongside larger solid or textured pillows. Insert not included.
This is a DE-COR design, a 16" hand-embroidered pillow in earth brown cotton canvas with a multicolor Suzani-style floral medallion in red, gold, olive, and cream.
Q: What makes Suzani embroidery visually distinct from other embroidery styles? A: Suzani work is known for its large-scale floral medallions and raised, satin-stitch texture — the thread is built up densely enough to sit slightly above the fabric, giving the motifs a dimensional, almost sculptural quality rather than a flat printed look.
