Khamma Ghani Kambadiya Brick Red Wall Hanging Table Cloth

What does the patchwork include?

Brick red, wine and pink squares form the base, with teal, mustard and green patches mixed through. Gold-toned trims and small mirror accents add shine, and a brick red edge band holds it all together. It is dense with detail from edge to edge.

How will it look as a tablecloth?

On a dining or centre table it gives a warm, rich spread. It pairs well with brass, copper or plain white serveware, which lets the patchwork show. Keep the centrepiece simple, since the cloth itself carries plenty of colour and detail.

What do I get in the package?

One cotton piece, 40x60 inches, that doubles as a wall hanging or a tablecloth. It is a single panel of Kambadiya patchwork, so you choose whether it goes up on a wall or onto a table, and you can change your mind later.

Where is it made?

In Barmer, by a women's self-help group led by master artisan Keshav. We source it directly from Keshav's embroidery cooperative. The patchwork is done by hand in cotton, which is why small irregularities appear from piece to piece.

Is it a good gift?

It makes a thoughtful present for someone who loves handmade textiles. It comes as a single 40x60 inch piece that can go on a wall or a table, so the person can decide where it fits their home.

Which room should I hang it in?

Living rooms, bedrooms and dining areas all work. It looks best on a wall with space around it, such as above a sofa, behind a bed or along a passage, where the full patchwork can be seen from a little distance.
