Tapan Vintage Embroidered Cushion

Vintage tribal embroidery

Unique piece

A striking cushion cover which is perfect for adding colour, pattern and texture to a sofa or chair.  This unique piece is a patchwork of fragments of vintage embroidery from Sind in Pakistan.  The individual sections were originally tunics, collars and cuffs from traditional clothing.

The motifs and stitch designs have been handed down from mother to daughter over generations.  Scroll over the image to see the embroidery in more detail.

Please note that this cushion is made from vintage tribal embroidery so there may be patches and imperfections but we think this adds to its charm.  The embroidery contains small pieces of mirrored glass known as shisha.
