{"product_id":"tambour-floral-travertine-sage-wallpaper","title":"Tambour Floral, Travertine \/ Sage Wallpaper","description":"\u003cp\u003eSage and eucalyptus blooms on a warm travertine ground, with forest floor green in the leaves. The value range is narrow, so at a distance the flowers recede and the foliage does the drawing—dark leaves cutting through a single soft field. Up close the blooms separate out: rose quartz and honey in the petals, sage shadow in the folds, a thin pink line at the leaf edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA fragment of a tambour-embroidered coverlet, held by the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam (accession BK-1980-773-B), is the source for this design. The fragment was worked in Gujarat c. 1720 – c. 1740, using a hooked needle pulled through twill-woven cotton to build up silk chain-stitch in continuous curving lines. The object measures 173 cm in height; its width was not recorded. What survived is a field of volutes and stylized flowers worked in polychrome silk on a cotton ground. Printed to order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"margin:0;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;cursor:pointer;margin:0;\"\u003eRead More...\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Source\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGreat pattern doesn’t ask for permission; it stops you. In \u003cem\u003eArt Objects\u003c\/em\u003e, Jeanette Winterson described a painting with “more power to stop me than I had power to walk on.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe source object—worked in Gujarat c. 1720 – c. 1740—demands that same attention. An embroiderer stretched cotton twill across a frame and pulled silk thread through the ground with a fine hooked needle, building continuous chain stitches line by line. What survived of that coverlet is a single 173 cm fragment, gifted to the Rijksmuseum in 1980 by the Stichting Twickel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original object is silk worked into cotton; the printed product is ink.
