Khamma Ghani Charming Wall Hanging Tapestry Kambadiya Work - 40X60 Inch

How do the orange squares and the patches come together?

The orange patchwork squares form the main grid, and beige and multicolour embroidered patches are set among them, with small accents of white, blue, green and pink. A plain orange fabric edge runs around the outside, so the whole piece glows warm from edge to centre.

Where would it look best?

Its warm orange suits a living room or dining area with white, cream or beige walls. It also looks inviting in an entrance or along a staircase, and sits naturally with wood, brass and terracotta.

How is Kambadiya patchwork put together?

Many separate pieces of fabric, in different colours and prints, are cut and sewn together into one larger design. On this piece, embroidered patches are worked into the grid, and the whole tapestry is assembled by hand by artisans in Barmer.

Can I use it as a throw?

Yes. At 40x60 inches, it can be folded over the back of a sofa, laid across the foot of a bed, or spread over a table as a cover, as well as hung on a wall.

What care does it need?

Avoid the washing machine. Spot clean small marks with a mild detergent and cold water, working gently on just that area, and use dry cleaning when the full piece needs freshening up.

Why might my piece differ slightly from the photo?

Finding the same patches again is extremely difficult, so while the overall colour stays similar, the individual patches may vary. The photos are taken by the artisans themselves, and handmade work naturally carries slight irregularities.
