Silk-Embroidered Floral Pillow Covers 18×18 – Red and Gray Set of 2

Silk embroidered floral pillow covers bring the Marrakech medina’s textile tradition into your living room. Each 18×18 inch cotton cover in this set of two carries hand-guided silk thread medallions — deep crimson centers ringed by charcoal-gray petals that create rich visual texture against the ivory ground. Skilled needleworkers trace each floral motif by hand, then fill the forms with lustrous silk thread whose natural sheen catches and holds light differently than cotton embroidery alone.

Key Features

• Cotton base with silk-thread embroidery — ivory cotton fronted by floral medallions in red and gray silk
• 18×18 in / 45×45 cm square — fits standard inserts; set of two identical covers
• Hidden zipper closure — opens flat for easy insert changes
• Dark piping along all four edges — defines the design and adds structural definition
• Plain cotton backing — durable and breathable against the insert

Craft & Provenance

In workshops across the Marrakech medina, silk-thread floral embroidery has been practiced for generations, each medallion traced and filled by needleworkers who learn the technique through apprenticeship cycles. A single floral cluster takes several hours of guided handwork to complete. Slight variations in stitch tension and thread placement between the two covers are the artisan’s signature — confirmation that each piece was made by hand rather than machine.
