Wall hangings can best be
described as Kashmiri
Tapestry Wall Hangings. The artisans use
a chain stitch to bring the
designs to life, which are
stitched onto double ply
fabric and usually have
tassels on both ends. The
entire piece is covered with
the stitch which bestows it
a look of a painting more
than an embroidered item.
The designs can range from
free-form scenes of nature,
to blooming flowers, to
geometric patterns, to a
combination. Wall hangings
also vary in the type of
thread used in the stitch:
silk thread provides a
shining quality, while wool
thread has a matte-like
finish. It is common to find
a piece that is a
combination of both, with
the contrasting threads
complementing each other and
adding a multi-faceted
texture. The skilled
artisans can take a picture
(a house, office building,
child’s name etc.) and
through chain stitch, bring
it to life in a wall
hanging.. to request a quote please
