Antique Traditional Floss Silk Embroidered and Mirrored Phulkari Wallhanging Interior Decor Collectable

Dating from the late 19th century a rare and unusual panel of traditional cinnamon coloured ‘khaddar’ hand loomed cotton cloth displaying Phulkari work of the Bishnui caste of Bhantinda/Hissar District, hand embroidered with glossy yellow floss silk Phulkari work.

Known as a Sheeshdar Bagh which means glass covered embedded garden. Covered throughout with embroidered shisha mirror work which are of an unusually large size. These mirrors make it glitter when it catches the light.

Perfect for an interiors project it would work well as a curtain panel with linen borders down either side or as a wall hanging.

This panel has been made into a curtain panel at some point and is lined with a brown colour curtain lining which has perished in places and would benefit by being replaced, a service we are pleased to offer from our textile conservation studio in the Cotswolds. Please ask us for details and a quote.

As old and loved textiles some flaws, small holes, historic repairs, the patina of age and signs of wear are to be expected and are part of the textiles history.
