Syaahi Bangalori Silk Multicolor Eclectic Wall Hanging

What is painted on this one?

A framed scene of figures, birds and a tree on a deep green ground, drawn in the style of Kalamkari. The figures and birds are painted large, with pink, blue, orange and cream bringing out the details against the dark green.

What is special about its border?

Along two edges runs a band of pink lotuses and blue leaves, with small drops hanging below and a cream margin beyond. Pink lotus on deep green is a lovely contrast, and it gives the edges a softer, floral feel next to the figures in the centre.

Would it suit a cool-toned room?

Deep green and blue lean cool, while the pink and orange add warmth, so it sits comfortably in either setting. In a room with grey, white or blue tones it feels calm; with wood and warm lighting, the pink lotuses come forward.

What material is it?

It is Bangalori silk, a fabric from Bangalore known for its smooth texture, painted by hand at our Kalamkari unit in Mangalagiri by Master Artisan Jyothi. The scene is the work of a brush, not a printer, so each line carries a little variation.

Will it look right with contemporary furniture?

Yes. A single painted panel like this gives a plain, modern room a focal point and a touch of Indian craft. Keep the wall around it clear and let the green and pink be the main colour, and it will hold its own without competing with the furniture.

What is its size?

About 74 to 75 cm in length and 43 to 44 inches in width. As each piece is handcrafted, the size varies a little from one to the next, which is why a range is given. Measure your wall before deciding where it will go.
