Indian embroidery, weaving, plaiting and lacquerwork, (1898). Creator: Unknown
Indian embroidery, weaving, plaiting and lacquerwork, (1898). Fig 1: Embroidered carpet of the 16th century. Figs 2-6: Borders from silk-embroideries. Fig 7: Pattern embroidered in silk. Figs 8 and 9: Cotton carpets. Fig 10: Mat of plaited rushes. Figs 11 and 12: Border patterns of Cashmere shawls. Fig 13: Painted lacquerwork...In consequence of British competition, the art of weaving, formerly brought to the highest perfection, is now decaying; also in modern silk embroidery the former quiet harmony is frequently disturbed by using the too vivid aniline colours. But the Cashmere shawls, being celebrated for ages all over the world, will still keep their renown for a long time owing to their unrivalled fineness and delicacy and to their magnificent colours. Plate 16 from " The Historic Styles of Ornament" translated from the German of H. Dolmetsch. [B.T. Batford, London, 1898]

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of Indian embroidery, weaving, plaiting, and lacquerwork from 1898. The unknown creator beautifully captures various elements of Indian artistry in this image. Fig 1 presents a stunning embroidered carpet from the 16th century, while Figs 2-6 display intricate borders crafted with silk embroidery. Fig 7 highlights a pattern delicately embroidered in silk. The photo also features cotton carpets (Figs 8 and 9) and a mat made of plaited rushes (Fig 10), showcasing the diversity of materials used in Indian textiles. Additionally, Figs 11 and 12 exhibit border patterns found on Cashmere shawls renowned for their unrivaled fineness, delicacy, and magnificent colors that have captivated people worldwide for ages. However, it is important to note that British competition has had detrimental effects on these traditional arts. Weaving has declined due to increased competition, while modern silk embroidery sometimes disrupts the former quiet harmony by using overly vibrant aniline colors. Nonetheless, this print serves as a testament to India's rich artistic heritage. It reminds us of the exceptional skill and creativity displayed through centuries-old techniques such as embroidery and weaving. As we admire these beautiful designs filled with floral motifs and striped patterns reminiscent of paisley prints, we are transported into a world where artistry meets functionality within interior decoration. Plate 16 from "The Historic Styles of Ornament" translated from German author H. Dolmetsch provides valuable insight into India's artistic legacy during the late nineteenth century—a true treasure for lovers of history and culture alike.
