Geometrics & Abstracts
Dowry
- Part of The Met x Ann Gish collection.
- Inspired by a cup from Ancient Egypt given to the Pharoah as part of a dowry, hence its name in our line, Dowry. With this cup, two things immediately stood out - the color palette and the ogee shape of the cup itself. To highlight those two parts of the design, we began with a freehand ogee layout, then filled in the background with that gorgeous terra cotta color, as well as contrasting and complementary tones. The result is a stunning embroidered design, rich in both history and colors.
Inro
Part of The Met x Ann Gish collection.
Inspired by an Edo-period basket, this embroidery features amber and taupe threads on a black linen cotton ground.
Maiolica
Part of The Met x Ann Gish collection.
Named for the refined, white-glazed pottery of the Italian Renaissance. The intricate embroidery in a medley of blues, yellow & red is inspired by the design of a bowl with arms of the Ridolfi di Borgo of Florence.
Nazar
-
Nod off without a worry in the world in our Nazar bedding. The inspiration behind this collection is a string of mosaic glass beads dating back to the Ptolemaic Period. In Ancient Egypt, Nazar was an amulet believed to protect against the Evil Eye.

Sophisticated, versatile and low maintenance. Pavilion coverlets are rich and weighty, perfect for the cooler months.
Qasaba
Part of The Met x Ann Gish collection.
Inspired by the vast collection of papyrus, reed, and linen artifacts in the Egyptian Wing of The Met. Named for a famous cobblestone street in Cairo, Qasaba elicits the texture and tone of the stones of Egypt, even the hatch marks on the papyrus fragment shown here.

-
Part of The Met x Ann Gish collection.

Trevi
Inspired by the famed fountain at the intersection of three roads (tre vie in Italian), Trevi design features arcs of gold and gunmetal embroidery on a pearly ground with a touch of texture. The arcs symbolize the water’s movement, their mixed metal tones a nod to the coins thrown into the fountain.
