On the Design:

A deliciously saturated, bright red field of coral tones underscores the embroidered floral patterns and pictorials, which look most closely to resemble peacocks or possible butterflies in their uniquely minimalist structure for such a piece.

The accent colors are equally maximized and vibrant to the red ground, ranging from bright blues to warm golds and greens, all revelling in the silks’ gentle, natural sheen and its subtle-meets-elegant play of the light in any space.

Admirers of the craft and collectors alike will note what a special, personal discovery figurals are of any provenance, let alone one of such an approachable whimsy seldom seen in this period of younger Indian textile—likely speaking to the work of a special, unsung atelier loom and a truly fabulous find among textiles of the most personal variety.

Condition:

This vintage Indian textile and tapestry further enjoys good condition for its age and origin, though its concentric outer borders look to be newer additions—a piece intended for wall-hanging purposes only. See less
