New at Cistanthe: airy hand-embroideries.
The white on white and floral-like forms stitched to breezy fabrics make me think of the organic imagery carved into the VMFA's 19th-century Indian garden pavilion. John Henry Rice, the Museum's associate curator of South Asian Art, calls the arcaded, late-Mughal marble structure a "place of pleasure."
[Watch the detailed video here.]
Last year I linked to the VMFA's time-lapse video of the pavilion's installation and provided some history, but the clip above offers a closer look.

Thank you for the introduction to Cistanthe. Embroidered textiles add such a beautiful texture. Definitely going to keep this shop on my radar.
Have you seen Penelope Bianchi's great summer slipcovers made from similar white hand appliqued Indian cottons?
Ashley -- my pleasure!
Jacqueline -- no, I'll have to check them out.
