About the Item

PRESENTING A LOVELY Vintage Indian Hand Embroidered Door Tapestry. Early 20th Century, circa 1920. Probably from Central India. Made of Cotton and hand stitched or embroidered with various native Indian images of cattle, tigers, elephants, birds. Also features Hindu Deities of Ganesh, Shiva, Vishnu, etc. Indian script and floral motifs. Dancing ladies. Swastika symbols for ‘good fortune’. Edged with floral banding. Large piece made for hanging over a door or archway. A PIECE WITH AMAZING DETAIL Very vibrant colors, but the age of the piece is evident from the minor discoloration as evidenced on the white parts in the photos. We believe this to be a highly desirable piece of Southeast Asian or Indian textile or tapestry and is most likely from Central India as the original collector seems to have had a ‘connection’ with Central India, in that, most of the items he collected were from that region and most were purchased by him at either Christie’s or Sotheby’s NY Auctions between 1999 and 2008.
