Handmade Artisan Tapestries
 We welcome you to view and enjoy our extraordinary collection of authentic hand embroidered tapestry wall hangings imported from South Asia. These hangings make ideal wall decorations that will help complement your current decor or bring a new focal point to your room.
These unique gifts are made by the hands of the cottage industry craftsmen and women in rural South Asia, using all local natural fibers and materials. Only the highest quality of fabric, dye and embroidery available to the area is used. The tapestries are durable and made with loops or sleeve for ease of hanging.
Originating from ancient India, painted, embroidered and printed hangings were used in ceremonious practices, religious rites and to curtain off temple sections. The native weavers developed a fine art called Kalamkari - which is textile printing using a pen-brush to visualize and depict mythological themes. The motifs were embellished with shells, coins, beads, tassels, and mirrors. The tapestries were rich and lively educational murals, helping to recount the tales from long ago.
In more modern times these tapestry wall hangings grew in popularity and became known as a luxury in domestic use in both India and abroad.
It should be noted all of these unique gifts are handmade using natural fibers, and imperfections are natural and slight variations in each wall hanging is to be expected. After all, that is their charm - being a one-of-a-kind all natural beauty for that special room. Enjoy.
