Postmodern Quilted Blanket in Harmony

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 60" 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.

The Curator's Notes

• Historical Rarity: The specialized weaving and quilting technique dates to the 1860s, and its production is limited to just three families, granting this piece significant historical and artisanal value.
• Dimensional Utility: The standard blanket size is 60" x 60" and is explicitly designed for use as a sofa or chair throw.
• Material Fidelity: The blanket uses a Poly-cotton blend for the exterior and is hand-stuffed with cotton batting.
• Custom Ordering Protocol: Larger sizes are available upon request; please inquire for details.
