Late 19th Century Embroidered Silk Rajasthan Textile with Traditional Style

About the Item

74898 Late 19th Century Antique Embroidered Rajasthan Throw, 03'02 x 03'07. Woven with regal elegance and spiritual reverence, this antique embroidered silk textile from Rajasthan conjures the splendor of a princely era—likely crafted in the late 19th century. Its rare arched shape suggests it once adorned a sacred or ceremonial context, perhaps as a dowry cloth, temple panel, or the back of a royal garment. The luminous silk velvet center, dyed in a resplendent amber hue, is meticulously overlaid with a glistening lattice of metallic threadwork. This gridded pattern, both architectural and ornamental, speaks to the Mughal-influenced precision cherished in the courts of Jaisalmer and Bikaner. Encircling the central field is a lavish border of embroidered rosettes and scrolling vines, executed in oxidized gold zari. Each motif is a testament to time-honored techniques of couching and padding that give the flowers a sculptural, high-relief presence. These blossoms, possibly stylized lotuses or marigolds, symbolize purity and abundance—motifs recurrent in both Hindu and Islamic textile traditions of the subcontinent. The embroidery exudes both opulence and devotion, its once-radiant metal threads now softened to an antique patina that reveals the textile’s noble age. A deeper examination reveals careful symmetry and compositional balance, hallmarks of 19th-century Rajput artistry. The four corner floral medallions reinforce the ceremonial nature of the textile, grounding its exuberance with a sense of order. The surrounding red fringes and woven chevron accents enhance its tactile richness and hint at its handmade provenance. This textile was not a mere decorative object—it likely bore witness to auspicious rituals, festive processions, or intimate family ceremonies beneath candlelight and incense. Today, this Rajasthani relic transcends its original function to serve as a fragment of living history—a shimmering echo of India’s artistic golden age. It invites not only admiration for its visual intricacy but also reverence for the hands that shaped it, the stories it once enveloped, and the enduring symbolism stitched into every petal and vine. In a modern space, it becomes both a visual centerpiece and a bridge to a world steeped in spiritual beauty and ancestral craft. Distressed. Desirable Age Wear. As-Is. Abrash.

Late 19th Century French Aubusson Tapestry Cushion with Rococo Style

Located in Dallas, TX

79199 Late 19th Century Antique French Aubusson Tapestry Cushion, 01'09 x 01'06 x 00'06. Woven with whispers of bygone grandeur, this handwoven wool French Aubusson tapestry cushion from the Late 19th Century captures the lyrical heart of a pastoral fable, rendered in threads of gentle nostalgia and refined artistry. At its center, a fox gazes longingly upward toward a pair of birds perched delicately on a tree branch, evoking the timeless tale of La Fontaine’s The Fox and the Crow—a moral parable spun into the language of tapestry. The scene is framed by a lush wreath of scrolling acanthus leaves and voluptuous blossoms—roses, peonies, and wildflowers—blooming in softened tones of pink, ochre, and antique gold. Each carefully handwoven detail reveals the elegant precision of the Aubusson weaver’s loom, where every knot and weft captures a painterly sensitivity to light, form, and emotion. The background shimmers with subtle gradations of mossy green and parchment beige, conjuring the feel of a sun-dappled glade, while the figures themselves seem to pause in narrative stillness—caught in a moment of wit, desire, and the age-old dance of cunning and vanity. The Aubusson pillow becomes a miniature stage for moral reflection, set within the poetic landscape of 19th-century French salon decor. Beneath the pastoral charm lies the hallmark of the Aubusson tradition: a low-warp tapestry technique prized for its fine execution and seamless color transitions. This cushion, originally born of a larger wall tapestry fragment, has been lovingly preserved and reimagined with a sumptuous velvet backing—ensuring the legacy of the weaver’s hand continues to offer comfort and delight. The delicately frayed edges and mellowed palette speak not of wear, but of history—an aged beauty that softens with time, like a well-loved verse recited over generations. More than a decorative object, this antique Aubusson pillow...
