Embroidery and Textiles
Our collection of vintage and antique embroidery includes suzanis and ikat from Uzbekistan, dresses, embroidered pieces and purses from Afghanistan and Sindh in Pakistan, shawls and pillows from Abbotabad and the Swat Valley, and cotton quilts from Sindh.
We also carry a range of woven textiles made for the domestic market in northern Pakistan, including cotton blankets and cotton rumals (all-purpose cloths used for anything from carrying bread to protecting your head from dust-storms).
Afghan Interiors is committed to supporting the local cloth market in Charsadda, northern Pakistan. The cloth for our mattress covers is hand-loomed here, and samples of the cloth are available for sale by the metre.
We are a major Sydney outlet for Tradition Textile and Jewellery Pty Ltd’s crewel curtains and soft furnishings (www.traditiontextilesandjewellery.com).
