Description
Much of the Mughals’ wealth derived from the international export of textiles, which became increasingly fashionable throughout Europe and America during the 18th century. This garment was made in India for the aristocratic French market. The floral designs inspired by the southern Indian dyed fabrics known as palampore have been enlivened by labor-intensive gilding and burnishing.- ?–1936The Textile Arts Club, Cleveland, OH, given to the Cleveland Museum of Art1936–The Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, OH
