Add a touch of global elegance to your space with this stunning, original hand-painted velvet wall hanging. Featuring a majestic Elephant Family in a lush jungle setting, this piece was personally acquired in Sri Lanka. It is a beautiful example of traditional South Asian Folk Art, renowned for its striking contrast and cultural heritage.
Visual & Material Details:
Vibrant Artistry: The high-pigment paints create a vibrant, radiant effect against the deep black background, making the scene come to life.
Lightweight & Delicate: Hand-painted on a fine, lightweight (120g) velvet fabric with a thickness of approximately 1mm.
Unique Texture: This specific fabric has a semi-sheer, see-through nature with intentional micro-perforations in the weave—this is a characteristic of the original handmade material and adds to its authentic, rustic charm.
Large Format: Measuring approximately 87cm x 68cm, this is a significant piece for wall decor or custom framing.
Condition Report: This is a pre-owned vintage item with authentic character:
Artisan Proof: As a genuine hand-painted work, there are paint marks and spills on the reverse side from the artist’s process.
Surface: Some visible dust specks and lint are present on the velvet pile.
Storage: Visible crease and crinkle marks are present from prior storage.
Shipping & Care Information:
Shipping Method: To keep shipping costs low for the buyer, this item will be shipped folded.
Crease Removal: Upon arrival, you may find fold lines. These can be easily addressed by gently steaming the reverse (unpainted) side or by having the piece professionally stretched and framed.
Display: Due to the fine, semi-sheer nature of the fabric, mounting it against a solid dark backing or stretching it over a wooden frame will best highlight the vibrant colors.
