Palmettes and Birds from a Tunic or Curtain Woven Throw Blanket

Palmettes and Birds from a Tunic or Curtain Woven Throw Blanket

“Palmettes and Birds from a Tunic or Curtain” is a silk; complementary weft-faced twill weave with inner warps (samite) dating to 500s–600s. It comes from Egypt or Syria, Byzantine or Islamic period, a fine example of the region’s artistic tradition. Natural-history images celebrated the form, movement, and character of the animal world with equal parts curiosity and artistry. Rewoven as a throw blanket, its lively natural detail comes alive in soft, tactile detail to bring a piece of museum history into your home.

Woven to order on a jacquard loom from a soft cotton blend, it comes in two sizes — 50×60" and 60×80" — with a fringed edge and a fully reversible face.

Made in the USA and produced just for you. Each blanket is typically crafted in 3–5 business days and arrives within about 1–2 weeks.

Care: machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colors, then tumble dry low or lay flat to dry. Do not bleach or dry-clean; use a cool iron on the reverse only if needed. The weave grows softer with every wash.
