The Moroccan Princess pillow in hand chain-stich embroidery depicts a beautiful, mysterious woman who looks out from almond eyes, pale skin, red lips and vivid tribal clothing. The sinuous, flattened lines of Matisse's North Africa and simplified details locate us in vibrant, sun-splashed Tangier to amplify the design's Fauvist references.
Red pompom trim adds dynamism and delight. 100% cotton thread hand and chain stitch embroidered on steel gray 100% cotton canvas. Larger scale 20" x 20" size makes a bold, graphic statement.
From start to finish, it takes a master artisan 12-14 hours to hand embroider your pillow. Handmake adds craft, culture and soul to any room. The results are truly worth it.
Moroccan Princess Pillow
Handmades are different than commercial products and require a different kind of care for long, luxurious product life. Hand embroidered and beaded products should be spot cleaned. Whenever you need deeper cleaning, use a professional dry cleaner known for gentle, non-toxic methods and materials.
Handwovens and natural dyes are created pretty much the way they have been made for over 1000 years. As pre-industrial products, they pre-date chemical mordants to affix color. On the making end, handmades and natural dyes are almost perfectly circular and don't pollute or create toxic waste. They are joyful to use because they have living finishes with beauty and soul.
Natural dyes require traditional care in order to maintain their beauty and longevity. Care Gently spot, hand, or gentle machine wash in cold water. No twisting or wringing. Dry flat for best shape retention. Light iron. Do not bleach. Use an eco-friendly/natural, free from chemicals & as pH neutral as possible. Avoid added fragrances and conditioners. Or, dry clean.
Caution Keep natural dyes away from anything acidic or alkaline, which can instantly bleach natural dyes. The stay-away list includes citrus, wine, vinegar, hydrogen peroxide, calcium, baking soda, etc.
