Rustic Charm

This endearing piece is a creative expression of women artisans of West Bengal, and is a gift of love. In the early 17th century, the merchant ships carried intricately worked kantha fabrics to Portugal where they became a rage with the noblewomen.

The decorative applique work horse is a delight to behold. Colourful kantha patterns have been embroidered on silk using simple stitches which forms the language of the piece. The horse motif represents energy and loyalty, it holds a special place in the mythologies of many cultures around the world. Awash with the ethereal charm of rural Bengal, it is a befitting ode to an ancient art form. Wrap it around for a soulful experience.
