Syaahi Bangalori Silk Multicolor Radiant Wall Hanging

What sets this peacock pair apart?

Two peacocks sit on a maroon panel among leafy branches and small strawberries, and one of the birds carries a tail painted in blue stripes. That striped tail gives the composition a cool accent against the warm maroon, and the eye goes straight to it.

What is on the border?

A black band runs around the panel with small birds and flowers painted along it, and red and blue flower drops hang from its edge. The border repeats the blue of the striped tail, which ties the frame and the centre together.

Is it hand painted or printed?

It is hand painted. Master Artisan Jyothi paints each piece by brush on Bangalori silk at the Indiehaat Kalamkari unit in Mangalagiri. You may see slight unevenness in the outlines and fills, which is natural to brushwork.

Will it look slightly different from the pictures?

A little, yes. Screens show colour differently, and hand painting means small irregularities in line, dots and shade from piece to piece. Those small differences are what make each hanging a one-of-a-kind piece.

How does it sit in a living space?

Maroon and black give it a warm, grounded look that suits wooden furniture, brass lamps and earthy textiles. Against a light wall it becomes the focal point of a living room or bedroom, and the blue accents help it sit with cooler cushions or rugs too.

How do I look after it?

Wash it by hand, gently, and always on its own, separately from other laundry. That is the full care routine; keep it gentle, as you would with any hand-painted textile.
