About the Item
This is a truly exquisite and unique pair of framed antique textile art, combining the mesmerising, centuries-old craft of Central Asian silk ikat with the timeless elegance mounted on bamboo frames. These vibrant wall hangings are more than decor; they are pieces of history, meticulously preserved to add a layer of authentic, global sophistication to any interior, from traditional to Hollywood Regency or eclectic.
These authentic fragments showcase the unmistakable artistry of Central Asian Silk Ikat, often referred to as Abr (meaning "cloud" in Persian) due to the characteristic soft, "bleeding" edges of the pattern. The silk threads, rich with natural dyes, were meticulously resist-dyed before weaving—a complex, time-intensive process that results in a one-of-a-kind textile.
Made of Antique Silk (often with a cotton weft in traditional adras or pure silk atlas weave typical of the 19th-century Silk Road era).
The silk fragments are expertly mounted and framed in striking, decorative frames with acrylic glass like front
This pairing creates a stunning visual dialogue between Asian-inspired Chinoiserie style and the deep history of the Silk Road.
Ikat is a globally celebrated, ancient textile tradition, with its Central Asian origins flourishing along the famed Silk Road trade routes. Dating back to at least the 18th-19th Century in key cities like Bukhara and Samarkand (Uzbekistan), these silk fabrics were a coveted symbol of wealth, status, and power. They were reserved for royalty and the aristocracy, often woven into magnificent ceremonial robes (chapans). The creation process is all-consuming, with master dyers (abrbandi) and weavers spending months on a single piece, making each fragment a genuine piece of textile heritage.
Textile Condition: good antique condition, consistent with age. As genuine antique fragments, minor signs of history—such as subtle fading, faint wear in the weave, or color variations—are to be expected and only enhance their authenticity and character. The fragments are professionally mounted and preserved.
What makes this pair truly special is the elegant and intentional juxtaposition of elements. The soft, cloud-like abstract geometry of the ancient Ikat textile is beautifully anchored by the crisp, architectural lines of the Chinoiserie Bamboo frame. This is a rare, curated pairing that speaks to a global, educated design sensibility.
They are a perfect acquisition for:
Textile Collectors
Art Connoisseurs
Interior Designers seeking authentic, high-impact wall art
Those decorating in Hollywood Regency, Maximalist, Grandmillennial, or Eclectic styles.
