About the Item

A 19th century Burmese Kalaga velvet tapestry with stones, sequins and colorful thread. Immerse yourself in the grandeur of Burmese craftsmanship with this captivating 19th-century Kalaga tapestry. A cultural treasure from Burma (now Myanmar), this tapestry is an exemplary showcase of the intricate Kalaga technique, where elaborate embroidery and appliqué are deftly applied to a rich background fabric. The tapestry is constructed on a plush velvet base, setting a luxurious foundation for the splendid embroidery. The threads, primarily in gold, silver and regal pink, interweave to create intricate patterns and scenes, reflective of Burmese culture and mythology. Kalagas typically boast a harmonious blend of silk, flannel, felt, wool, and lace, meticulously assembled on a cotton or velvet backdrop. The design, heavily embroidered, reveals the intricate skill and time-honored tradition of the artisans. Embellished with glistening stones and sequins, the tapestry twinkles with a subtle yet mesmerizing shimmer. This exquisite piece is not only a testimony to the richness of Burmese heritage but also an awe-inspiring work of art that can elevate any interior space. Place it as a focal point in a living room or study, and let its enchanting allure whisk you away to a land steeped in tradition and artistry. Ideal for collectors and admirers of textiles and antique tapestries, this 19th-century Burmese Kalaga velvet tapestry is an investment in history and artisanal brilliance.
