Sheer Rust, Mustard and Taupe Mulmul Curtain

The marigold, India's most democratic flower, strung at temples and weddings alike, is the motif at the heart of this sheer curtain. Hand-printed in Sanganer, outside Jaipur, Rajasthan, the rust, mustard and taupe palette is pressed onto mulmul cotton using carved wooden blocks. The motifs soften at the edges when light passes through. That is not a flaw.

These sheer curtains are hand-printed in Sanganer, outside Jaipur, Rajasthan, a craft centre synonymous with artisanal block-printing on fine textiles. The palette here is autumnal: rust, mustard, taupe, the colours of marigold at different points in its life. Carved wooden blocks carry the motif onto mulmul cotton, a weave so open that what is printed on one face reads differently when light passes through from behind.

Hang these at a window that faces garden, or a doorway where you want to separate two spaces without closing them off. They filter more than they block, creating a layered quality of light that heavier curtains cannot. The mulmul weighs almost nothing in the hand and catches even a slow indoor breeze.
