Guangzhou Silk Square Pillow

Leopard spots in black and gold, with a ruby streak running through them.

This Guangzhou silk square pillow is leopard pattern silk. Guangzhou has been a center of silk weaving and trade in southern China for centuries. The face is printed with dense black rosettes on a golden ground, scattered with patches of red. A narrow burgundy piping outlines the edges, and the silk has a soft sheen that shifts with the light. It is 18 inches wide and 18 long.

Wild at the center, tidy at the seams.
