Mashru Trays

Mashru Trays 
These are  long rectangular trays have been set with PATAN's famous Mashru fabric on its base in a vibrant royal green,a regal and rich red, a riot of colours woven in thin stripes. The handwoven textile has been set in a stained mango wood frame with a glass cover. Mashru is a unique fabric with an interesting history. Mashru is a Persian word which translates to 'permitted'. Mashru refers to a mixed fabric that was woven with a silk warp and cotton weft textile and was used by Muslim men who were prohibited by a rule to wear pure silk fabric. The satin weave on the surface of the fabric gives it a luminous and rich appearance. Mashru continues to be known as known as a luxurious silk in parts of Central Asia and Africa.
