Khamma Ghani Kambadiya Dark Brown Wall Hanging Table Cloth

How is the patchwork laid out?

It is set out as a grid of squares in brown, ochre and purple, each carrying embroidery, with gold-toned trims framing the patches and some appliqué work. A plain brown edge runs around the outside. The grid gives it an ordered look within the patchwork.

What décor does an earthy piece suit?

The brown and ochre tones sit naturally with wooden furniture, terracotta, cane and brass. On a cream or white wall it gives a warm, rich focal point, and on a dining table it suits earthenware and copper serveware.

What size wall does it need?

At 40x60 inches it is a sizeable panel, so it suits a wide wall above a sofa, bed or console, where it has some space around it. For a table, compare 40x60 inches with your table top before you decide.

Can I wash it at home?

Yes, gently by hand with a mild detergent, though dry cleaning is the preferred option. Always wash it separately from other laundry and dry it in the shade rather than out in the sun.

What is Kambadiya patchwork?

Patchwork is the craft of sewing many fabric pieces together to build one larger design. This Kambadiya piece is made in Barmer, in cotton, by a women's self-help group led by master artisan Keshav, so each one carries its own mix of patches.

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.
