Rare Antique Tent Decoration
An extraordinary antique Afghan wall hanging, rich with texture, colour, and character. Handcrafted many decades ago, this intricate textile blends embroidery, crochet, and embellishment in a stunning palette of burnt ochre, indigo, and soft rose tones.
The top section features traditional embroidered star motifs on vintage fabric, leading into hand-crocheted panels and tassel adornments that cascade with small glass beads and thread-work charms. Every detail reflects the artistry and storytelling of Afghan craftsmanship.
As with all antique textiles, this piece carries the gentle marks of age, celebrating the beauty of time-worn materials. Handle with care, avoid direct sunlight, and clean gently using a soft, dry cloth or low suction vacuum.
A one-of-a-kind heirloom piece that adds warmth, history, and soul to any interior.
Collected by a local antique dealer during the free-spirited hippy era of the 1960s and 70s, these textiles were hand-picked on travels through Afghanistan and brought back to his Portobello Road shop in London. Their vibrant threads and meditative patterns carry the essence of a time when artistry and adventure intertwined.
Approximate size including tassels: 258 x 72 cm
