Product Description

They are color fast and can be machine washed separately on cool/gentle and tumble dried. Gorgeous colors in indigo, red, and gold on beige. Kalamkari is a combination of hand painting and block printing. The art of Kalamkari demands a lot of treatment before and after the painting and block printing is completed on the cotton fabric. Hence Kalamkari is a laborious and time consuming process. The Masulipatnam style of Kalamkari usually has delicate Persian motifs like trees, creepers, flowers and leaves. There is a definite Dutch influence which can be traced back to the the nineteenth century when there was great demand for Kalamkari from Europe. Today Kalamkari is still practiced by a number of small families in and around the old fishing port of Masulipatnam. The intricate designs, elaborate borders and understanding of balanced composition have made Kalamkari one of the most widely imitated styles of Indian printing today. These gorgeous Kalamkari block prints will add a unique quality to your dining experience. Many of our tablecloths have matching placemats and napkins that can be purchased individually. You will love the rich colors and quality of this Kalamkari block print.

This review is from: Kalamkari Block Print Tablecloth-60 x 60 Square-Nice (Kitchen)

The pictures of this item make it look much better than the actual product. First the image doesn't show the black 1 1/2 inch trim around the entire tablecloth. Black doesn't go wtih my decor and I wouldn't have purchased this tablecloth had I known it had black trim. The printing is sloppy. There are large black spots all over the tablecloth. In addition, the colors in the actual tablecloth are much different than how they look in the picture. The blue is much darker in real life, the "red" looks a little more like burnt orange and the beige, is really a taupe. The quality of the fabric is not great either. Very disappointed with this purchase.
