Kapurthala Step, Heirloom Bagh Phulkari Pillow (Trade)

$335.00
| /

This lumbar pillow is a profound example of Museum-Grade Phulkari, repurposed from a 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 vibrant amber and burnished saffron. Unlike monochromatic Baghs, this rare specimen features a complex multi-tonal palette, traditionally reserved for high-ceremonial dowry pieces.  This specific piece highlights a rhythmic "staircase" geometry, where tiered blocks of magenta and cream silk create a striking vertical movement. It features a particularly beautiful lower border of multi-directional chevrons that catch the light at every angle.

The substantial 16x24 profile makes this pillow a primary room anchor, functioning beautifully as a statement centerpiece on a deep-seated sofa or as a soulful layer on a curated bed. Its intricate geometry and radiant silk make it a natural focal point for Japandi, Eclectic Modern, or Mediterranean-style interiors. To highlight the heritage craftsmanship, style it sparingly alongside neutral linens or solid velvet textures .
