Quilted Stripe Blanket in Shadow Blue

CLASSIFICATION: Cultural Textile Architecture (Rare Quilted Double-Weave) CONSTRUCTION: Handwoven Double-Weave, Hand-Stuffed Quilting PROVENANCE: Gujarat, India MATERIAL: Poly-Cotton Blend (Face) / Cotton (Batting) ROLE: Permanent Historical and Textural Comfort

This blanket is an acquisition of an endangered textile art form. The material is meticulously crafted using a handwoven quilting technique that originated in Gujarat, India, dating back to the 1860s.

The unique quilted effect is achieved by hand-stuffing each woven square with cotton batting as it is woven. The standard size of 60" x 70" is perfect for a sofa or chair throw blanket.

Crucially, this intricate weaving and quilting style is now preserved by only three families in India, making this blanket a genuinely rare cultural asset.
