Description
This handmade vintage woven Ajrakh fabric has intricate geometric and floral motifs.
Unlike direct printing, the Ajrakh method involves a unique resist-dyeing and repeated printing process with hand-carved wooden blocks. The entire process can involve 14 to 16 different stages of dyeing and washing. The fabric is made from soft, hand-spun cotton.
44 x 15.5 inches
Made circa 1970s. Sourced from Gujarat, India.
Care instructions: Not machine washable. Spot-clean only or utilize cleaning methods suitable for fine/antique fabrics. Steam or carefully iron for wrinkle removal.
Items may be visibly faded, distressed, typical of age, and consistent with most of the Indian wall hangings in stock, which distinguishes them from the newer, mass-produced textiles made for the tourism and import markets. Most items show some discoloration, wear, missing patches of embroidery or mirrors, and faint stains in some cases.
