Quilts and Bedspreads

We designed our first bedspreads in India in 1980 and we've never lost our love for the wonderful fabrics of that country. This collection features beautiful handwoven cottons, silks and velvets, embroidery, print and patchwork.

These pages are your portal to the exotic bazaars of India, Africa and The Orient. Here you can find that perfect hand carved wooden bed, a unique painted shrine or a beautiful silk wall-hanging. Possibly to become reminders of previous journeys, or decoration for your home.
For more than 30 years we’ve been selling hand-made furnishings and furniture from around the world. Over that time, and many travels, we have built relationships with local crafts-people, particularly in India where we have our beds made by a Bishnoi family in Jodhpur. The beds incorporate hand carved details: the designs are modern, but with Indian references. The traditional tools and techniques used by the Indian woodworkers bring these designs to life and create unique beds with individual character.
Although we’ve been influenced by changing trends over the years we’ve had a constant love of Indian textiles. Some fabrics are only available at the shop, but we offer a lovely range of silk and cotton bedding online, along with a collection of beautiful wall-hangings and silk prayer-flags.
A constantly changing selection of stunning folk art from India and further-a-field is also made available to you here. We offer an eclectic range of authentic pieces, from hand carved mirror frames to stunning Buddha statues in brass or stone. Many of these pieces are unique and can’t be repeated. Over the years we have gained access to very special pieces: a stunning gilded brass Avalokiteshvara, a fine bronze statue of Krishna, a richly carved panel with eight depictions of Buddha…. Our selection is regularly updated as new discoveries are made.
