Pugin Sofa in V&A Threads of India Varanasi Wilderness

Our V&A Threads of India collection has been designed in collaboration with the @vamuseum This fabric draws inspiration from an intricate 19th century brocade, known as kamkhwab or kinkhwab, from Varanasi or Baharampur. Cherished for its splendour and rarity, the fabric was popular in the Mughal courts. Kamkhwab is known for its extensive deployment of golden and silver thread, to the point where occasionally the silk background is hardly discernible. Rediscover the artistry that once adorned ceremonial robes and hangings and elevate your interiors with a touch of opulence.

This exquisite upholstery fabric pays homage to an opulent Mughal carpet in the V&A collection. The resplendent pattern of animals alongside a coat of arms comes from the Fremlin Carpet, probably made in Lahore (now in Pakistan), a well-known location for carpet manufacturing in this period. The carpet was ordered by William Fremlin, who worked for the East India Company in India from 1626–44, finishing his career there as the President of the Council of Surat.
