I used a new toran at the front door to the shop.

We currently have 6 or 7 of the antique hand embroidered torans. These are early 20th century and are true works of folk art. Silk on cotton. We have these in dark purple, seafoam green & a little more modern one in pink:

Hand embroidered toran, $59.

Very petite ancient handmade Banjara toran w/heavy mirrors:

The Good Stuff

Posted in Gypsy News, India on 07/07/2011 03:05 am by Lisa

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.
