This vintage Kalaga tapestry is a dazzling example of Burmese textile art, intricately hand-stitched using silk, velvet, and metallic threads. The scene depicts a regal procession with figures riding horses, an elephant, and a chariot, each adorned in richly embroidered garments embellished with sequins and beads. Set against a plush black velvet background, the figures and animals come alive with shimmering gold, silver, and pastel accents, capturing a sense of movement and ceremonial grandeur. Framed by ornate scrolling borders in gold and turquoise, the piece radiates opulence and storytelling tradition. This wall hanging showcases the meticulous craftsmanship of Kalaga artisans and is perfect for adding dramatic, cultural elegance to any interior.

It’s 1990 all over again!

In the early 1990’s, my wife I were obsessed with hand woven, vegetable dyed Turkish carpets from Azeri/Woven Legends. We spent so much time at ABC Carpet & Home in NYC, we became good friends with the head rug buyer!! We haven’t purchased a rug in years, but I found a wonderful Woven Legends carpet at Shopvintagerugs and bought myself an early birthday present. The rug was shipped from Pakistan on Monday, made its way to Dubai, then Boston, Memphis and finally arrived to us today. I couldn’t be happier!
