Woven in Gujarat, western India, from antique Mashru, the traditional silk-warp, cotton-weft cloth prized for its lustrous face and cool cotton hand. This one carries a balanced run of madder red, olive, and blush stripes with a fine mustard pinstripe, the soft 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).

A hand-loomed Mashru silk-and-cotton lumbar pillow from Gujarat, India, in a balanced red, olive, and blush stripe.

Q: What makes an antique Mashru pillow a worthwhile collector piece rather than just decor? A: Genuine hand-loomed Mashru is increasingly scarce, most surviving cloth was cut from garments no longer produced this way; each cover is a one-of-a-kind cut of a finite antique yardage, not a reproducible print.
