The embroidery behind every panel on this wall

01

Abhla mirror work

आभला

Bhuj & Banni

Hand-cut shisha discs held down with eight radial stitches, a wall of them catching light all day long.

02

Suf counted stitch

सूफ

Barmer & Kutch

Worked from the reverse of the cloth, counted thread by thread, with no design ever drawn on the surface.

03

Rabari embroidery

रबारी

Kutch, Gujarat

Free floral hands learned at home before they are learned at work, each garden remembered rather than copied.

04

Sujani running stitch

सुजनी

Bhusura, Bihar

Thousands of small running stitches quilting layers of old cloth into a single figured surface.

The artisan

“A panel takes four months. It should hang for forty years.”

Hansiba Rabari embroiders in a village outside Bhuj, counting suf stitches from the reverse of the cloth so that nothing is ever drawn on the surface first. A large panel keeps her hands busy for a season.

We buy at prices set by the makers, in advance, and record the name of the embroiderer and her village on every label.

In their words

It reads as art from across the room and as embroidery up close. Our hallway finally makes sense.

The label named the embroiderer and her village. That alone earned my trust.
