Khamma Ghani Kambadiya Scarlet Red Wall Hanging Table Cloth

What does the embroidery on this piece look like?

It is a grid of red, pink and gold patches, worked with floral and paisley embroidery and gold-toned thread, with small green accents and some appliqué. A plain maroon edge frames it. The gold catches the light and gives the surface a soft sheen.

Will it be too bold for my room?

It is a bold piece, so let it be the one statement in the room. Against a white, cream or pale grey wall the reds glow without clashing. Keep cushions and curtains nearby in plain or muted shades so the patchwork leads.

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.

What's the best way to clean it?

Dry clean it where possible. For a home wash, use a mild detergent and a gentle hand wash, keep it apart from other laundry, and let it dry in the shade.

Why might the patches differ from the pictures?

Every piece is put together by hand, so the exact patches used change from one to the next. The overall colour stays similar to what you see, and small irregularities are a natural part of handwork. That variation is what makes each one unique.

Would it make a good gift?

Yes. It is a single handmade piece that can go on a wall or a table, so it adapts to the home it goes into. Made by a women's self-help group in Barmer, it carries the story of Kambadiya patchwork for the person receiving it.
