This Kashmiri hand-embroidered crewelwork piece functions as a wool-and-cotton wall hanging or carpet, dating to 1920 in an English Country House style. The rectangular textile displays a cream ground decorated with a central medallion, intricate floral scrolls, and a cartouche border, all executed in bright burgundy, green, and navy blue chain stitching. It measures 270 cm high by 184 cm wide with a depth of 1 cm, and remains in excellent condition. Position this large textile on a floor as a decorative rug or mount it directly onto a wall as a prominent focal point within a living room, hallway, or study. The traditional floral motifs and rich colour palette complement both period and eclectic interior schemes, adding warmth and intricate pattern to residential spaces.

FAQs

Crewelwork is an ancient form of free-style embroidery using wool yarn on a woven fabric base, historically favoured for decorative wall hangings, drapery, and floor coverings.

Crewelwork carpets typically feature hand-stitched wool embroidery worked over a heavy cotton or linen backing using chain stitch or satin stitch techniques.

Authentic crewelwork displays slight hand-stitching variations on the reverse side, natural fibre composition, and dense wool thread texture rather than uniform machine stitching.

A crewelwork textile can be mounted as a focal wall tapestry or placed in low-traffic living areas to introduce classical pattern and physical texture into neutral interior schemes.

Crewelwork textiles require light vacuuming using a low-suction brush attachment, protection from direct sunlight to prevent dye fading, and professional dry cleaning designed for delicate wool embroidery.
