Description

It is difficult to describe how astonishingly fine this piece of embroidery is. The bird in the detail is barely 3cm long from the tip of its beak to the end of its tail feathers. Absolutely breathtaking. Hard to fathom how this was made and what a fabulous shirt it must have been. It's also impressive how anything so delicate could survive at all, let alone for nearly 300 years. I'm extremely pleased to have found it and now it has been professionally and sensitively conserved, hopefully it might last another 300 years!

FAQs

Gujarat has a rich history of textile production dating back centuries, renowned globally for its intricate needlework and vibrant silk stitching, often produced for both domestic use and international trade through European trading companies.

Authentic pieces typically feature hand-spun silk or cotton threads worked in a variety of stitches such as chain stitch, satin stitch, and interlacing techniques, often on a woven ground fabric.

Identification relies on examining the natural fibre aging, hand-spun characteristics of the threads, traditional vegetable dyes, and characteristic regional motifs which align with historical trade textiles.

Professional interior designers often mount and frame antique textile fragments behind conservation-grade glass to serve as sophisticated wall art, highlighting their historical texture and colour within contemporary spaces.

Preservation requires keeping the textile away from direct sunlight to prevent dye fading, maintaining stable humidity levels, and avoiding direct contact with acidic mounting materials.
