The GP & J Baker Zaraband 25cm empire shade features a gathered linen construction printed with a Central Asian ikat-inspired design drawn from early 19th-century Abra textile traditions. The pattern incorporates delicate tonal transitions that create a layered, nuanced appearance across the teal colourway. The gathered fabric adds surface texture, while the empire form directs light both upward and downward for balanced ambient illumination.
The Zaraband design pays homage to the noble traditions of early 19th-century Central Asian textiles. Inspired by an Abra smock from the period, the Zaraband ikat features delicate tonal transitions that echo the elegant patterns of silk Abra kurtas, which were once worn exclusively by aristocratic women to display both wealth and power.
