ANTIQUE #SA1090176

25 X 50cm Important 17/18th Century Embroidery, Gujarat

Sold by: James Cohen Antique Carpets

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!
