Vintage Framed Mirror and Bead Embroidery Wall Art

This beautifully preserved, circular vintage beadwork and mirrorwork piece from Gujarat—likely once used as a traditional handheld fan—is a striking example of Indian folk craftsmanship. Now framed in a custom white case with a matching inner border and soft white backdrop, the piece takes on a timeless, gallery-like presence.

At the centre sits a single round mirror, encircled by six larger mirrors arranged in a precise radial pattern. The rest of the surface is intricately embroidered with colourful glass beads, showcasing traditional handwork in symmetrical, folk-inspired patterns. The mirrors, though showing subtle signs of age, remain intact and reflect the history and care embedded in the object.

Perfect as a framed wall art piece, this work of textile art captures the spirit of Gujarat’s rich artisan culture—where even everyday objects like handheld fans were crafted with devotion, detail, and vibrant artistry. A rare collectible from The Blue Trunk’s curated vintage textile archive, this piece is ideal for those who value heritage decor, Indian folk art, and handcrafted design.
