Description

Circa 1900.

This fine embroidery originates from Delhi, India. The embroidery is in silk and is of the traditional floral boteh design. The embroidery is stitched onto a later green velvet corduroy ground. The shape of the ground and the braiding attached at the lower end suggest that this may have been used as a horse cover or made to look like one.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Produced during the late 19th and early 20th centuries in regions such as Delhi and Agra, these textiles were crafted for both local royalty and the European export trade seeking luxurious Orientalist decorative goods.

Craftsmen applied fine silk threads onto velvet grounds, utilizing dense needlework styles like zardozi or satin stitch to render elaborate boteh patterns, framed borders, and decorative spandrels.

Authentic period examples exhibit slight irregularities in hand-stitching, natural fading or patination of the velvet pile, hand-knotted fringe embellishments, and aged cotton backing fabric.

These textiles can be mounted inside a custom acrylic frame for wall hanging, layered over a sideboard top, or draped across upholstered seating to introduce historical texture.

Keep the piece away from direct sunlight and moisture, dust gently using low-suction vacuuming through a protective screen, and consult a professional textile conservator for deep cleaning.
