This framed textile piece is an early 20th century Indian embroidery on silk dating from 1930. The vertical artwork displays raised relief needlework in metallic threads and sequins upon a bright golden yellow silk background. The composition includes two peacocks with blue necks and pink-patterned tails, floral sprays, an architectural depiction of the Taj Mahal, small boats along the bottom edge, and a dark wooden frame with a glazed front. Finely detailed embroidery shows strong colours throughout the design. Measuring 108 cm by 57 cm overall, this wall hanging suits placement in a living room, hallway, or above a sideboard in a home today. The work complements maximalist interiors or eclectic spaces seeking an expressive, colourful focal point on a wall.

FAQs

Zardozi is an elaborate embroidery technique originating in Persia and popularized in India during the Mughal era. Historically crafted using gold and silver threads, this art form was traditionally used to adorn royal garments, wall hangings, and courtly textiles.

Traditional pieces utilise a woven silk ground embroidered with metallic threads known as zari, metallic wire coiled into spangles, and cotton backing. Higher-status examples often incorporate padded embroidery techniques to create three-dimensional relief motifs.

Handmade panels display slight irregularities in stitch tension, hand-knotted thread ends on the reverse, and unique hand-drawn guidelines beneath the embroidery. Authentic metallic threads often show natural oxidisation or tarnish over time rather than modern synthetic shine.

Framed textile art works well as a focal point above a console table or sideboard to add warmth and tactile texture. Pairing intricate embroidered fabrics with modern minimalist furniture creates a balanced contrast between traditional craftsmanship and contemporary lines.

Silk textiles should be mounted behind UV-filtering protective glass with acid-free backing to prevent fading and material degradation. Display the piece in a climate-controlled room away from direct sunlight and areas of high humidity.
