Guangzhou Silk Lumbar Pillow

Fish nose to tail, swimming a zigzag channel of burgundy.

This Guangzhou silk lumbar pillow is cotton and velvet. Guangzhou is a longtime center of Chinese silk work, and fish are a widely loved motif there, often associated with abundance. Golden fish with orange fins and scales fill the face in two staggered columns. Blue-green acanthus leaves rise on both sides and break into curling waves at the bottom. A velvet edge in deep red finishes the cushion. It is 20 inches wide and 12 long.

A tidy, well-dressed little shoal.
