Details
A beautiful antique Turkish embroidered cushion cover, richly decorated with traditional geometric motifs worked onto a soft creamy homespun ground. Woven and embroidered by hand, the front is alive with vibrant berry, orange, rust, indigo and soft grey tones, while the reverse features delicate scattered motifs and subtle woven stripes.
One side has been left open for stuffing, preserving the piece in its original form. Full of character and history, it would look equally lovely styled with a feather pad, hung on a wall, draped over a bench or layered amongst a collection of antique textiles.
A truly one-of-a-kind piece that celebrates the beauty of traditional Turkish craftsmanship.

Why We Love It
We love the wonderful contrast between the richly embroidered front and the quieter simplicity of the reverse. The vibrant berry, orange and indigo threads have softened beautifully with age, creating a warmth and depth that only antique textiles possess. Pieces like this are becoming increasingly difficult to find and each one tells a story of generations of craftsmanship.

Materials + Care
The majority of our pieces are vintage or handmade and are chosen for their character as much as their beauty.
• Natural signs of age and wear are part of their story.
• Spot clean where possible.
• Keep away from prolonged direct sunlight.
• Professional cleaning is recommended for larger textiles and rugs.
• Wool and natural fibres benefit from occasional airing and gentle care.
Kantha textiles are made from layers of reclaimed sari cloth and are designed to be lived with and loved. Should your piece ever need a little extra care, I am always happy to send complimentary Kantha patches from my collection of scraps for sympathetic repairs. Sometimes the mending simply becomes part of the story.
