Likely dating to the 1950s, this beautifully matched pair showcases the rich folk art traditions of Rajasthan or Gujarat and remains in remarkable vintage condition. A striking statement piece for collectors of Indian textiles, global décor, and folk art.

Finding one vintage embroidered animal is not unusual. Finding a well-matched elephant and camel of this quality, workmanship, and condition is considerably more difficult. Display them together on a bookshelf, console, or in a curated collection of global folk art for maximum impact.

Both retain wonderful vintage character with expected age-related wear, including minor loose threads and light wear to the undersides consistent with age. Overall, they remain in remarkably well-preserved condition.

A distinctive addition to collections of Indian folk art, bohemian décor, textile art, or eclectic interiors.
