An extraordinary piece of textile art, this antique Indian Gujarati ceremonial door hanging (Toran) dates back to the 1920s–1940s.
Handcrafted in Gujarat, this vibrant tapestry was originally created to adorn doorways during traditional wedding ceremonies.
It was personally acquired 25 years ago directly from a trader at the world-renowned Pushkar Camel Fair in Rajasthan, offering a rich and authentic provenance.
The textile features a hand-woven cotton base meticulously detailed with organic-dyed silk thread embroidery. At its center is a striking "Tree of Life" motif, beautifully framed by intricate, shimmering inset cut-glass mirror work (Shisha). The entire piece is finished with a traditional cotton quilted border and includes a hanging loop at the top for easy installation.
This gorgeous ethnic textile can be displayed dynamically as a fluid wall hanging or professionally framed as a gallery-worthy statement piece.
