Sacred Nile Napkin Green

Goya Gallagher founded Anut Cairo around a simple premise: that Egypt’s textile and ceramic traditions, still very much alive in villages along the Nile, deserved a platform beyond souvenir shops. Named after Nut, the sky goddess of ancient Egyptian mythology, the house sources hand-painted pottery from the Fayoum oasis, hand-embroidered linens from its own Cairo training centre, and woven textiles from the historic weaving towns of Akhmim and Sohag. Its embroidery school and artist residency programme keep the emphasis on people and place as much as on the finished object.

Offered here in green, the Sacred Nile Napkin Green shares its stylish three-colour motif and bold stitched frame, inspired by the sacred lotus of the Nile, with its Rosewood and Jade counterparts, silk screen printed and hand embroidered in parts in Cairo. Displayed together, the three colourways bring a coordinated pop of colour to any table.
