White Ground Blue & Gold Floral Vine Block Print Cotton

An all over floral vine on a clean white ground — bold cobalt blue flowers and paisley leaves on warm gold-brown stems wind freely across the cloth. The blue is strong and clear; the gold stems give it warmth. Well-balanced and versatile — one of those prints that suits both garments and home furnishings equally well.

Hand block printed in Sanganer, Rajasthan using a technique with roots going back over 400 years. Sanganeri printing is recognised by its fine, detailed floral and botanical motifs — butis (small scattered motifs), butas (larger individual motifs), jaal (all-over floral nets), and bel (trailing vine borders) — applied to a light or white base cloth. Each colour is printed separately using hand-carved wooden blocks. The result is a delicate, intricate print that carries the subtle marks of its maker. Minor variations in print alignment and colour are part of the hand-made process. This is a genuine Sanganeri block print cotton fabric, sold by the metre from the UK.
