TriBal Textiles This season we have relied heavily on the embroidery, crafts and colours of people of the Thar desert in western India. The town of Barmer and the surrounding villages produce a great many styles of embroidery, including our chakli embroidered quilts and applique bedcovers. All chakli bedcovers are one-off pieces. Please contact your sales representative for details of our current collection. two

sixteen MUD printed DHURRIES
1. Dabu or mud resist printing, one of the oldest printing techniques in Rajasthan, uses predominantly natural dyes and vegetable pastes for colours. To create the upholstery fabrics for the chairs on these pages, plain cotton dhurries were the blank canvases for the dabu printing process. The tribal designs were created by applying the special mud resist clay to the dhurry before being dyed. As this is all manually done, each dhurry has its own unique design and colour strength. Hence, no two chairs will be the same either in colour or design. 2. Previous page: CHA171 Parker Armchair - Indigo Mud Print 85 x 50 x 85 cm This page: 1.

We loved the round button-back sofa in linen so much that we have used the same model for suzani upholstery. The front is upholstered in a vintage Uzbek suzani with co-ordinating velvet buttons and the back is upholstered in natural linen. Each piece is unique and is upholstered in a one-off suzani. Please contact your sales representative for images of available stock and for images of other one-off items. SOF111 Suzani Buttonback Round Sofa - Assorted 185 x 75 x 80 cm Each vintage recycled fabric has passed through the hands of various crafts people as well as having had a life: each piece will almost certainly have small marks, stains, holes or other imperfections. These should not be considered faults: rather, they are characteristic of your vintage upholstered item. SUZANI UpholsteRY nineteen
