Vintage Persian Block Print (Kalamkari) Textile in Ivory, Yellow, Green, Blue
About the Item
The beauty of this piece is in the amount of creative and precision work that the creator had put in to make a complex design based on “Tree of Life” pattern that makes a statement of the fineness and uniqueness of this antique textile. The center of the design has a cypress tree which is considered a symbol of longevity and tree of life extending to heaven. The design also contains beautiful bird designs. The top spandrels are in a beautiful shade of green. A beautiful design and colors come together in this wonderful textile from the early 20th century.
The Persian Kalamkar (Qalamkar or Ghalamkar) woodblock print textile is from the great city of Isfahan. This is done 100% by hand with different designs on each block. Each design is put in the ink and then applied to the textile. Once the design is completed, a hot iron is used to make the print permanent.
Kalamkaris originated in Persia where "qalam" meant pen and "kari" meant craftwork. Originally the design was hand-drawn using a bamboo pen, but since the 19th-century, block printing has been widely used.
