What makes this Khamma Ghani cover different?
It is built around a large gold-thread paisley and scroll centre on a navy ground, with patchwork panels of green, red, white and yellow around it. A navy rim with white stitches finishes the edge. The centrepiece gives it one strong focal point instead of an all-over mosaic.
How does the gold paisley centre look in person?
The gold thread and zari form a bold paisley scroll that stands out against the navy. It catches light gently rather than glittering, so it reads rich and festive without the flash of sequins, and it is what draws the eye first.
Which sizes are available?
It comes in 16 x 16, 18 x 18 and 32 x 32 inches. Choose 16 or 18 inches for sofas and chairs, or 32 x 32 inches for a large floor cushion where the paisley centre has room to show.
How should I care for the zari work?
Zari is best dry cleaned. If you hand wash, use cold water and a mild detergent, keep it separate, and do not scrub or wring the gold centre. Dry it flat in shade and iron on the reverse at a low setting to protect the metallic thread.
Who makes it?
It is sourced directly from Keshav, an embroidery cooperative based in Barmer, Rajasthan. The artisans there combine Kambadiya patchwork, Kantha running stitches and Banjara embroidery, working the whole piece by hand on cotton.
Where does it look best?
Navy and gold suit formal living rooms, diwans and bedrooms with wood or brass accents. On a cream or beige sofa it looks rich and settled, and on the floor its gold centre makes a seating corner feel special.
