Item Details.
An extraordinary silk hand embroidered bedcover dating from the 1920’s, embroidered in Kashmir in India where the world’s most skilled embroiderers come from.
This was probably made for the European market, either for export of for Europeans living in India.
It is worked in gorgeous shades of pink silk onto an ultra pale eau de nil softest cotton ground.
This beautiful cover would fit a double bed or sofa but would also make a fabulous curtain panel, wall hanging or throw.

239.5cm long (+ 22cm flaps either end) x 222cm wide
Condition.
This panel is in excellent condition for an antique from this era. There are a couple of small marks and a small coin size area of thinning to the silk. Nothing especially noticeable or that detracts from the overall beauty of this amazing embroidered textile.
