Three birds swoop in a circle through looping vine stems, their fanned wings and tails built from many stitched strips, surrounded by large rosette blossoms and leaves inside a deep double border.
- Size: 63 x 76 cm (25 x 30 in), width x height
- Colourway: Orange Vine, Navy Border
- Technique: Khayamiya — cotton appliqué, stitched entirely by hand
- One of a kind: cut and stitched by hand, not printed. The flat photographs show this exact piece; the room photographs are illustrations.
Its square format works above a console, in a study, or as the focal point of an entryway.
Khayamiya is the appliqué of the Cairo tentmakers. Every shape is cut from cotton, its edges turned under and hand-stitched onto the backing with tiny, close stitches, so the picture is built up layer by layer rather than printed or painted.
Hanging: a rod pocket is sewn across the back of the top edge. Slide a curtain rod, a dowel or a slim batten through it and hang it from two brackets or nails.
