The Good Stuff

Every now and then I have to break down and buy some unbelievably rare goodies for the shop.  This is my favorite stuff.  The reason for having a store specializing in tribal treasures.  Write to me at info@shopgypsywagon.com for bigger photos and ordering information.

Probably From Saurashtra Gujarat, India.  Early 20th Century Hand-embroidered silk on cotton, wedding canopy.  Bride and mother work on these for months to prepare for the wedding:

Huge! 70"x 85" $245

Incredibly rare, in excellent condition.

Amazingly detailed work.

The Gypsy Wagon has one of the best collections of these hand embroidered wedding canopies in America.  This one has lots of mirrors.  I love all the details in this work of art:

Rare rectangle wedding canopy 44"x 70" $270

Wonderfully detailed colorful embroidery work.

The old gramophone helps date this piece to pre-1940's.

This is one of the most visually stunning Wedding Canopies we’ve ever had in the store.  This thing is breathtaking:

Outrageously gorgeous wedding canopy 75"x 84" $350

Hand-embroidered silk on cotton. Beautiful!!

The borders and over all floral design is exquisite.
