Arches supported by Baluster Pillars became popular in mid-17th-century Indian palaces during the reign of Shah Jahan. The form then spread throughout central and northern India, showing up in both residential and religious spaces. Embroidered on sisal, this wallcovering reproduces the elaborate details and shapes of the Museum's example. This captivating collection, created in collaboration with The Met, draws on artworks and objects from across nine of The Met’s 17 curatorial departments to create a rich mosaic of historical narratives. Each design is a celebration of artisanship, inspired by exquisite forms and cultural traditions. Following our first collaboration with The Met in the 1970s, we bring museum magic into the home once again in homage to history and the grand beauty of art.
