Description
The detailing on this cushion is based on a woven silk fabric in the V&A collection made in Varanasi around 1850. The craftsmanship of the original textile demonstrates the exceptional skill of the Varanasi weavers, who were known for their mastery of the drawloom technique, allowing for complex and finely detailed designs. The vibrant, jewel-toned colours—deep reds, blues, or greens—would have added further opulence, making the fabric suitable for high-status individuals or ceremonial occasions. Varanasi, historically known as Benares, has been a prominent centre for fine weaving since ancient times, and during the Mughal period, it evolved into one of India’s most renowned silk weaving hubs.
