This vintage Kashmiri crewel bedspread is a beautifully handcrafted textile made from cotton with intricate wool embroidery. Originating from the Kashmir Valley, it features an all-over floral and bird motif embroidered in vivid shades of blue, pink, yellow, green, and red. The delicate vines and stylised paisley birds are worked in fine crewel stitch, a traditional embroidery technique that creates a raised, textured effect using wool yarn on a cotton base. The balanced repetition and rhythmic flow of the design evoke a garden in full bloom, exuding both elegance and charm. Framed by a simple cream border with one rounded corner, this piece embodies the rich artistic heritage of Kashmiri needlework. It is ideal as a decorative bedspread, wall hanging, or a cherished heirloom textile for collectors and enthusiasts of handcrafted beauty.
