Óvalo Standard Sham
Handwoven by Alirio and his team on a footloom using the rare falsería technique, this sham is a true expression of master craftsmanship. Once widespread in Guatemala, falsería is now practiced by only a few highly skilled artisans capable of executing its complex patterns. This particular design requires the precise coordination of 50 heddles—a level of difficulty that demands deep technical expertise and intimate knowledge of weaving traditions.
The elegant oval motif is especially rare in Guatemalan textiles, where geometric forms typically dominate. Its presence here reflects both innovation and reverence: a bridge between ancestral symbolism and contemporary expression. The flowing curves and balanced rhythm of the pattern recall the old-world elegance found in some of Regan’s longtime favorite Italian textile houses—where heritage, refinement, and artistry are woven into every thread.
Because the loom’s width is limited, each sham is carefully constructed from narrow panels. Every seam and detail by Irma—meticulously planned and custom designed—preserves the continuity of the pattern while enhancing the piece’s bespoke character. Finished with delicate crochet joinery and hand-stitched edges, this sham offers both strength and softness, bringing a sense of quiet luxury to any bed.
A singular blend of cultural heritage and elevated design, this sham is crafted to honor tradition while offering timeless beauty for today’s most thoughtful interiors.
