  • Textiles Under Mughals

    Textiles Under Mughals

    Chapter V Textiles under Mughals- The advent of the Mughal dynasty gave an undeniable boost to production of the up-market textile, as to other craft. Textiles are singled out for mentioned by Abul Fazl, the minister and biographer of Akbar (1556-1605), in his Ain-i-Akbari, compile in the 1590‟s as a subject in which the emperor took particular interest. Akbar favoured woollen garment – the chosen wear of Sufis (Muslim mystics) – „from his indifference to everything that is worldly‟ in preference to the richer stuffs. His penchant for wool is also indicated by the steps he took to improve shawl manufacture; especially in the relation to dyes and width of fabric.1 Ain-i- Akbari goes into fascinating details on the manner of classifying garments in the imperial wardrobe (toshkhana). The textiles were arranged according to the date of entry which was recorded, sometime with other information, on a label tacked on to the piece (practice which survived in provision toshkhana into the 20th century). Price, colour and weight were also taken into account. Within these boundaries, textile took precedence according to the nature of the day, astrologically auspicious or otherwise on which they were received. A further refinement took into account the colours, of which thirty five are listed in the order of precedence. Abul Fazl further records that imperial workshops had been set up in the cities of Lahore, Agra, Fatehpur Sikri and Ahmedabad, where the best of the local craftsmen were requisitioned to supply the needs of the court.2 Persian masters were brought in to teach improved techniques.

The elephants, winged horses, and composite creatures with dog heads and peacock tails are positioned alternately face-to-face and back-to-back. The fabric is designed to be viewed both from a distance and more closely. From a distance, the overall structure with its repeating pattern forms a grid in which geometrical roundels oscillate between contact and isolation. They are so close they seem almost to touch both each other and the complicated vegetal patterns in the spaces between, although in fact each roundel remains separate from every other visual element in the textile.

    President's Message

    2013 — Issue 06 The Gazette of the FEBRUARY President’s Message Dear Fellow Members, This winter is turning out to be a super busy time for us. We recently had an interesting talk from Nicholas Thaete about chair caning. Many members have told me that they love the class he is now offering. Maybe we can ask for another class for those who were unable to attend this time. On February 7th we’ll have a presentation on IKAT weaving, by Marcia Weiss, at our meeting, with a workshop on the following day, February 8th. This is an interesting technique and I’m looking forward to attending the workshop. There’s still room for more members if you’re interested. Susan Davis will bring additional examples of IKAT pieces to the meeting. Among our goals for the new year, upgrading of the web site is very important. Nancy Shiffrin created our web site over ten years ago, and we appreciate her making it functional as long as it has been in place. With the acceleration of technology we now see that there is more that we need to add to make our site consistent with the latest expectations of cyber-technology. Our aim will be a system that is easier to use and still interesting for the readers. This may necessitate our getting a different server. We’re getting some cyber-ideas for the web site from Julia Wilson, our member with considerable com- puter savvy. A small committee will be working on the transition, chaired jointly by Tiffany Robbins and Amoi Goldman.
