FAQs

A toran is a traditional decorative door hanging originating from the Indian subcontinent, historically placed above doorways to welcome deities and guests, as well as to ward off negative energy.

Traditional pieces are typically constructed from repurposed cotton or silk fabrics, featuring intricate hand embroidery, colourful threadwork, and small foil-backed glass mirrors known as shisha.

Authentic vintage pieces exhibit hand-spun or older milled cotton bases, irregular hand-stitched patterns, natural colour variation in the threads, and signs of genuine wear and handling on the fabric edges.

This type of decorative object can be mounted flat against a wall like a tapestry, displayed inside a custom shadow box frame, or hung directly above a doorway to add global texture and warmth to a space.

To protect fragile fabrics and oxidising metal threads, keep the piece out of direct sunlight, avoid moisture, and clean gently with a low-suction vacuum through a protective mesh screen.
