Description
Vintage Marokkaanse zijden sabra-kussens met cactussen
This unique Moroccan cushion is hand-woven and hand-dyed. The fabric is commonly known as "cactus silk" or "sabra silk".
Spiny leaves from sustainable agave cacti from the Sahara are harvested, hammered, and then soaked to release the fibers. The fibers are subsequently hand-spun using traditional processes to create cactus silk. The silk is then combined with camel wool and hand-woven on a loom to make cactus silk rugs, which in turn are crafted into these vintage cushion covers.
The cushion features ancient symbolic Berber motifs from the High Atlas Mountains in Morocco and has a hand-seed, interwoven fringe with a tassel on each corner.
Each piece features a unique, intricately embroidered design, and no two will be exactly the same!
