421 Old Phulkari Varida Bagh Shawl Textile – Pachranga border / IN INDIA REPAIRS

Beautiful silk embroidered Phulkari Bagh Shawl from West Punjab

Superb small tight stitches that have a long life arranged in concentric diamonds

Beautiful colored Pachranga border with magenta and purple.

Unfortunately some of the color has run and resulted in minor localised staining. Some thread loss.

Hand woven maroon base cloth.

Age unknown but estimated to be 50-60 years old

This is one of the early phulkari bagh acquisitions that led me down the garden path and resulted in me falling in love with this beautiful category.
