Wooden Textile Block for Printing Fabrics – India – Early 20th Century ~ Condition: Antique; age-appropriate wear, carving intact ~ Material: Hand-carved hardwood ~ Color: Natural aged wood patina ~ Measurements: 6″ × 6″ × 3″ ~ Weight: Solid artisan carving ~ Overview: This early 20th-century wooden textile printing block from India is a traditional artisan tool once used for block printing—the centuries-old process of stamping designs by hand onto fabric. Each block was carved from a single piece of hardwood with intricate raised patterns, then dipped into dye or ink and pressed repeatedly across cloth to create elaborate, repeating motifs. This particular block reflects authentic craftsmanship of the early 1900s and was likely used to produce decorative textiles such as saris, shawls, linens, and ceremonial fabric. Today, it serves beautifully as a display piece, collector’s artifact, or functional stamp for artists continuing the block-printing tradition. ~ Bundle blocks for greater savings on both shipping and quantity discounts. ~ Bin — :•: :: ~ 5 Star Seller | Sustainable Business | Smoke Free Environment ~ Bundle and Save 10% + combined shipping discounts ~ Ships quickly from South-Central Pennsylvania ~ Orders $100+ ship FREE; standard Poshmark shipping applies below that ~ Reasonable offers always considered — lowballs may be ignored or countered. ~ Thank You For Shopping Souls Pleasure!
