These exquisite embroideries, meticulously preserved since the 1970s, originate from the Kutch region of Gujarat in India. According to historical accounts, Kutch embroidery is believed to have been introduced by the 'Kathi' cattle breeders, who were brought by the legendary figure 'Karma' from the Mahabharata. Over time, these nomads settled down and honed their needlework skills, giving rise to an art form that transcended generations, passed down from mothers to daughters. The hallmark of this vibrant embroidery lies in the enchanting use of small mirrors, known as "able," sewn into the designs, creating a captivating play of colors. The architectural motifs and designs found in the Kutch region have a significant influence on the embroidery. These embroidered textiles are traditionally used for festive occasions and adornment of deities, often featuring animals and figures depicting Indian Gods and Goddesses.
Rugs and textiles possess a remarkable ability to forge connections with us, becoming cherished companions as we spend time appreciating them as works of art. It is awe-inspiring to contemplate the boundless talent and creativity of the individuals who crafted these pieces. Both men and women push their limits to fashion these marvelous objects, intended to captivate our eyes, touch our hearts, and stimulate our minds.
As passionate seekers of collectors who share our deep appreciation for the treasures we encounter during our travels, we derive immense joy from discovering and acquiring these objects, many of which have graced our personal collection. However, there comes a time when we must pass them on to new owners, allowing them to embark on their own adventures. We sincerely hope that as you spend time with and study these magnificent items, you will also come to cherish the love and individuality imbued by the talented artists who brought them to life.
