Khaleeli Bridal Pillowcase from the British Mandate Period
An extraordinary example of bridal embroidery from Al-Khaleel, dating to the British Mandate period (early 1900s).
Hand embroidered in vibrant silk floss on handwoven cotton-linen, this pillowcase features a striking palette of pink, black, brown, mint green, purple, and orange arranged in bold geometric compositions characteristic of Khaleeli embroidery.
Pillowcases like this formed an essential part of a bride’s qisweh (trousseau), adorning her new home while reflecting the extraordinary skill of Al-Khalil’s embroiderers. 💯 silk floss.
Textiles of this caliber are exceptionally rare. Not many pre-1948 Khaleeli bridal pillowcases have survived.
Condition: Mint
Dimensions: 16 × 28 in.
An exceptionally rare, museum-worthy survivor of Palestine’s textile heritage and one of the finest examples of Palestinian bridal adornment from the British Mandate period.
