Antique Embroidered Banjara Zari Indian Handwoven Silk Textile

About the Item

78807 Antique Embroidered Indian Tapestry, 03'05 x 06'01. This enchanting handwoven and embroidered antique Indian Zari tapestry is a mesmerizing work of art that captures the rich heritage and exquisite craftsmanship of India's textile traditions. Measuring approximately 3x6 feet, this antique Indian textile is a vibrant display of intricate patterns and designs, each meticulously crafted with a blend of shimmering metallic threads and colorful embroidery. The tapestry features a patchwork of geometric and floral motifs, each enclosed within a grid-like framework that creates a harmonious yet dynamic composition. The use of Zari, a traditional metallic thread, adds a regal touch, giving the tapestry a lustrous and opulent appearance. The tapestry's color palette is a harmonious blend of warm and cool tones, with predominant shades of golden yellow, rich ochre, red, and soft lavender-blue. Each section of the tapestry showcases different patterns, from detailed star floral designs and diamonds to symmetrical geometric shapes, all meticulously embroidered to create a textural depth. The borders of the tapestry are adorned with repetitive circular motifs, adding a cohesive frame to the central patchwork design. The interplay of metallic Zari threads with the colorful silk and cotton threads creates a striking contrast, enhancing the visual appeal of the tapestry. The craftsmanship of this tapestry reflects the cultural and artistic legacy of the Indian subcontinent. The detailed embroidery and the careful selection of colors and patterns indicate the weaver's expertise and artistic sensibility. This antique Zari tapestry not only serves as a beautiful decorative piece but also tells a story of tradition, skill, and the timeless beauty of handcrafted textiles. It is a testament to the enduring allure of Indian embroidery and a treasured artifact that brings a touch of historical elegance to any space. Abrash. Age Wear. Handwoven silk. Handwoven cotton.
