About the Item

This charming mid-20th century Indian cotton textile bursts with retro personality, hand-woven and hand-block printed in a playful, folksy pattern of elephants, deer, lions, human figures, and huts. Rendered in bold primary colors—red, blue, and yellow—the whimsical motifs repeat across the entire field in a rhythmic, storybook-like composition. A coordinating border frames the design with the same joyful imagery, reinforcing its vintage charm. The piece captures the cheerful, homespun aesthetic of the 1950s, where vibrant color and stylized graphics came together in textiles full of life and character. Whether used as a tablecloth at a garden party or hung behind a bed as a makeshift headboard, this textile invites lightheartedness and creativity. It’s a testament to traditional Indian block printing techniques filtered through a distinctly mid-century lens—equal parts craft, nostalgia, and delight. A true conversation piece, full of warmth and hand-wrought soul.
