Afghan Pushti Hand-Knotted Wool Pillow Cover - 90 x 58 cm

A cascade of colourful tassels and pom-poms gives this Afghan Pushti pillow cover its exuberant character. Dark navy branching motifs fill the red front, framed by crisp ivory and black geometry and warm orange bands. Against plain upholstery, these details become a decorative feature, giving a favourite seat a more individual feel.

Pushti cushions have a place in traditional Afghan floor seating, where large pillows are used for back support. Hand-knotted in Afghanistan with a pure wool pile front, this cover pairs that textile heritage with a contrasting striped reverse.
