Palampore
A palampore is a type of hand-painted and mordant-dyed bed hanging that was made in India for the export market during the eighteenth century and very early nineteenth century. Only the wealthiest classes could afford to buy palampore; therefore, few examples have survived and are often quite valuable today.
