Hand-embroidered cushion cover from Kashmir, Mughal floral pattern 40 x 40 cm

A cushion cover entirely hand-embroidered by artisans from Kashmir, adorned with a Mughal floral motif, inspired by the gardens of Srinagar, which the Mughal emperors made the very image of paradise on earth in the 17th century. Saffron daisies, turquoise foliage, green chinar leaves, and an indigo border unfold against a deep raspberry red background. The embroidery is done using the traditional Aari technique, crocheted with dyed wool threads on an ecru cotton canvas. The relief is dense and luminous, almost sculptural; each cover requires several hours of manual work and bears the signature of its embroiderer. Placed on a linen sofa, a vintage rattan armchair, or a raw wood bed, this piece adds a vibrant textile accent that warms up a neutral decor. It fits well in a bohemian, Indo-chic, or maximalist setting, as well as providing a colourful counterpoint in a minimalist interior.
