Woven in Gujarat, western India, from antique Mashru, the traditional silk-warp, cotton-weft cloth prized for its lustrous face and cool cotton hand. The softest piece in this batch, a wide blush-pink band dominates against slimmer red, olive, and mustard lines, with the gentle irregularities and horizontal creasing typical of hand-reeled silk on a narrow village pit loom. Finished with a cotton canvas back and a button closure, filled with a polyfill insert (down-blend upgrade available for an additional cost).

Q: Are lighter, softer-toned antique textiles less valuable than bold ones? A: No, softer dye lots simply reflect a different original color batch, not age or damage; collectors often seek out the tonal range across a group specifically because no two lots dye identically.
