Tribal Block Printed Rugs

Originating in China, the ancient craft of hand block printing developed to print patterns on textiles using natural dyes applied with wooden block templates. It was India where the skill expanded into imaginative design and colour. Unrivalled abilities in mixing organic composites to a myriad of colour schemes expanded possibilities.Enjoy these ranges for rustic charm, vibrant colour or muted warmth. All will add another dimension to your living spaces and inject life and personality.

Each individually applied print is approached with consideration before application. This personal attention to detail brings uniqueness to every completed piece. Slight imperfections contribute to the distinct nature of this printing method. The English almost destroyed the cottage industry in the 1700s. A rush for intricately patterned textiles by colonials and the Mughal Empire led to British mass production and the shutting down of Indian exports. Colonialism rule pushed Indians into purchasing secondgrade versions of their original designs. Much later, a handful of surviving artisans managed to establish local networks of trade and rekindle interest in the art of block printing. Today, the technique thrives partly because of its simplicity and partly due to it's high regard as the heritage craft that was almost lost. The most workintensive and laborious type of textile printing in India lives on! Bring a piece of Indian cultural history into your home and enjoy knowing that nobody else has an identical one.
