Antique Kalamkari (Indian chintz)
$999.00
Antique Indian Kalamkari, dating to late 1800s.
This large textile was likely made as a bedspread. Indian chintz is the western name for Kalamkari (Qalamkari in Persian), which was a labor intensive process of mordant and resist dyeing, where natural dyes from plants were used with mordants (often metallic salts like iron), and applied with a bamboo pen on cotton cloth. Kalamkari was widely practiced in the Coromandel coast in the southeast coastal region of India.
This would be stunning as a bedcover or a large tapestry. It is in fantastic condition for age, was kept in storage for a long time by previous owner and is in exceptional antique condition.
Dimensions: 112” x 90”
