Handmade Moroccan Kilim Pouf: Berber Ottoman Floor Pillow 03YS00349

Moroccan wedding blankets (Handira) are a marriage celebration tradition that originated with the Berber tribes, they are meticulously handwoven out of sheeps wool, cotton and linen in anticipation of a wedding by the brides female relatives. It can take hours, even weeks of work to attach metal mirrored sequins (which are authentic elements of Handira throws) once the weaving is complete. The Moroccan Berber Kilim rug is handmade from the highest quality of organic wool and woven in the flat wave technique for thin dimensions and ultimate durability while it combines beauty and practicality. These ornate pieces hold significant cultural meaning for the tribes. Throws, poufs and pillows of this style have recently become an international trend. Our breathtaking decorative pillow cushions take original, historic Handira/Kilim and up-cycle them into easy to fill cases which we have embellished with rug fringe and handmade tassels from a unique appearance. Your floor pillow will arrive unstuffed, and can be filled through the zippered canvas back. Approximate Dimensions: 20" x 20" x 8.5" 50cm x 50cm x 22cm Due to the handmade nature of the Handira we use, slight character-enhancing imperfections and irregularities and markings may be noticeable upon close inspection which shouldnt be viewed as defects but instead considered to add to its beauty and authenticity and attest to its value as a treasured tribal item!
