The intricate quilting detail on the Brady sham is guided by hand to achieve the delicate raised scroll motif. 100% natural linen on the front and back and is finished with a scalloped edge. A specialty from Marseilles, this very refined needlework was richly quilted with various intricate motifs, some of them stuffed with additional batting called “Boutis” to make them stand out in relief. Boutis is a provencal word meaning ‘stuffing’. A special needle, also called Boutis and made out of boxwood, was necessary to delicately stuff the work. Available in all linen shams with French trapunto quilting and scalloped edges. Every wash makes this sham softer.
Very soft and nice weight fabric with pretty stitching. I purchased 26" fillers for these 26" Euro shams, and they could easily handle larger fillers. I suggest you purchase larger fillers if you want the shams to be really full and firm.. Carolyn. Cotulla, TX. Mon Nov 14 2022
