Ghalamkari (Calico art)

Ghalamkari, Calico work is an art which produces coloured mould cloth used as a tablecloth, table covers, prayer rug, bags, etc. and which is formed by printing on a cotton cloth. Production of colourful designs and printing on the cloth by moulds has apparently been created in the 4th century A.D. in India and from there to Alexandria. Printing on the cloth was evolved in Iran during the Sassanid Dynasty and new techniques were initiated in the decoration of woollen and cotton clothes. This art was extended generally in Isfahan during the Safavid period.

Quality product and excellent service

I ordered the Norooz collection, painted ceramic eggs, mirror, etc. Good value, completed and complimented my table decorations. I received it very quickly and the service delivered is excellent. The first delivery was delayed and as soon as I mentioned it they sent me another set via express post. Thank you and I will be a returning customer and recommend them.

Quality product & delivery

This was a gift for my father and he loved it. I was conerned about overseas delivery but it arrived in perfect condition. The original delivery address needed to be changed but the logistics provider was very professional and responsive. Very good experience and I will purchase again in the future.

I lost my farishta that I had for years from India and never thought I could get a replacement. The one you sent me filled that missing part.
