Rani | Antique Indian Framed Textile

Rani | Antique Indian Framed Textile

A beautifully intricate piece of antique Indian textile art, Rani is distinguished by its rich raspberry tones and striking geometric design. Concentric borders of hand-worked embroidery draw the eye towards the central pattern, while touches of violet, turquoise, green and ochre add subtle contrast and character.

Sourced in India and believed to date from approximately 50–70 years ago, the textile has been carefully presented in a simple wooden frame, transforming a piece of traditional handwork into a wonderfully decorative, one-of-a-kind artwork.

Textiles of this kind are closely associated with the remarkable embroidery traditions of western India. Delicate mirror work was often incorporated into clothing, household textiles and decorative pieces, bringing movement and a gentle glimmer to their richly stitched surfaces.

With its strong symmetry, detailed needlework and time-softened colour, Rani has a captivating quality that rewards a closer look. It would make a striking focal point above a sofa, console or fireplace, bringing warmth, texture and a sense of history to any room.

Each artwork in this collection is entirely unique, with only one available.

Please note: This is a vintage textile, and variations, irregularities, fading and signs of age are integral to its character. Its precise age, maker and regional provenance are not documented; historical information relates to the wider textile traditions with which pieces of this kind are associated.
