Crafted in India from a lustrous silk-blend textile, this pillow cover is embellished by hand with traditional Zardozi-inspired metallic embroidery. A continuous band of hand-worked metallic embroidery forms a jewel-like border across the deep red silk ground, combining coiled metallic thread, beadwork, and dimensional embellishment. Rooted in centuries-old Indian decorative arts, Zardozi embroidery was historically associated with courtly garments and ceremonial textiles; here the technique is interpreted in a contemporary decorative format, bringing texture, craftsmanship, and a sense of collected luxury to an interior. Finished with a tailored silhouette and button closure, each pillow varies slightly due to the handmade embroidery.
