This vintage Indian palampore bed cover from the 1930s is an Anglo-Indian textile made from cotton with natural dyes. The yellow ground is printed and painted with a central tree featuring monkeys, exotic birds, an owl, a mongoose, butterflies, and a Shiva Lingam shrine, all enclosed within a broad red and yellow repeat border of flowering shrubs and monkeys. Sympathetic repairs are visible along the edges. The piece measures 262 cm high by 203 cm wide and 0.1 cm deep. Suitable for use in an English country house interior, this textile works as a study piece, a decorative wall hanging, or as a bed cover placed above the bed in a bedroom. Its colourful imagery and detailed botanical motifs bring traditional South East Indian artistry into contemporary spaces.

FAQs

A palampore is a hand-painted or block-printed cotton bed cover or wall hanging produced primarily in India during the 18th and 19th centuries for export markets across Europe and Asia.

Traditional chintz palampores were crafted from plain-woven cotton using complex mordant and resist-dyeing processes alongside natural vegetable and mineral dyes.

Authentic pieces exhibit dye penetration visible on both sides of the hand-woven cotton fabric, subtle variations in printed design alignment, and characteristic Tree of Life iconography.

These large pattern textiles are frequently mounted behind glass as framed wall art, draped over the foot of a bed, or hung as a central focal piece in a room.

Keep the fabric protected from direct sunlight to avoid dye degradation, maintain stable humidity levels, and consult a specialist textile conservator for cleaning and archival mounting.
