The GP & J Baker Zaraband empire shade features a gathered linen construction printed with the Zaraband ikat, a pattern rooted in early 19th-century Central Asian textile traditions and inspired by the tonal transitions found in silk Abra garments of the period. The gathered linen adds tactile texture to the straight empire form, while the ikat print delivers layered tonal depth across the teal ground. The shade measures 35cm in diameter.
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.
