Antique indigo katazome wedding cushion cloth
Antique Indigo Wedding Cushion 69
Very rare antique indigo wedding cushion with hand loomed plaid border and back. Beautiful floral and happy marriage motif katazome patterns decorate this piece. The cushion was used in the sedan chair where the bride is carried to the wedding ceremony. Cloth is in mint condition Increasingly rare examples of these katazome fabrics, also known as, Lan Yin Hua Bu, can still be found in the country side villages, dating back 100 years. The cotton was hand woven and the resist paste dyeing and pattern making process is still all handmade as it is was back when this wedding cushion was made. This particular cloth measures 145cm x 48cm and can be used as table runner, wall hanging bed throw or window seat cushion. Does not come with stuffing. There are 2 main types of antique indigo katazome cloth:
  • Square: ‘Wrap cloths’ used to store and carry personal items were folded at the corners and tied together. A symbolic silk flying bat, sewn in one corner was a  sign of prestige
  • Rectangular: these were traditionally bed covers, often given as wedding presents or for children’s bedding. The symbols and designs were to wish long life, prosperity and a happy life together or good luck with the children’s exams.

Sex by Alex McKenzie

Sex is a collection of individual prints following in the tradition of textiles as a medium to tell stories

about human relationships, life’s fortunes and rituals through symbolism. ‘Birds and Bees’

explore themes relating to encounters between lovers and the interplay between

the positive and negative that makes connections with those we love both joyful and challenging.

The Birds and Bees combines imagery of swallows and honey bees artfully skirting around central

spines of brambles and apple branches bearing fruit. These visual references are emblematic of the

art of relationships and the careful negotiation required to maintain the equilibrium of both the

physical and emotional side of shared lives.
