Vintage Sindhi textile embroidery 3'7" x 3'5"

Size: 3.7 x 3.5 ft.

Origin: Sindh

Circa: 1970s

Material: Wool & Floss Embroidery

This vibrant vintage Sindhi embroidery textile is crafted using wool and colourful floss threads. The base fabric is a dark wool, providing a striking backdrop for the vivid embroidery. The design features a central medallion surrounded by four circular floral and paisley-like motifs, each bursting with intricate, starburst-like stitches in dazzling shades of orange, pink, blue, purple, and cream.

The embroidery is characterised by dense, expressive stitching, including cross-stitches, running stitches, and chain stitches, typical of traditional Sindhi needlework. The borders are framed with zigzag and star-shaped patterns, adding dynamic energy to the piece. The edges are slightly fringed, giving it a charmingly rustic and handcrafted feel.

This textile likely served as a decorative panel, wall hanging, or part of traditional attire, reflecting Sindh's rich cultural heritage and artisanal skill, a region known for its bold and colorful embroidery traditions.

Authentic antique and vintage Sindhi textiles are hand-embroidered with cotton, metal thread and wool. Each one is an exceptional work of art and one of a kind.

Pictures are taken in natural light to portray the most realistic colours possible. Due to the handmade and preloved nature, slight imperfections and flaws are not defects.
