Indian Vintage Decorative Altar Cloths

  
I have been told these are Indian altar cloths or decorative cloths for the home. The two square ones look as if they are cushion covers as they have openings and are double cloth. They would be circuit 1950s. My mother was given then when I was a child. They would have come from india directly to her from the merchant navy seamen that we used to board and lodge.

They look rumpled because they have been packed away for almost seventy yes. The edging looks frayed but I would say in the main it is not if at all. I will not be inspecting every tiny look and cranny.

The edging is made of a very, very fine wire. And just needs a little teasing out to get the shape that you can see in one of the photos. It has just been pushed down in storage.

This is a vintage item and as such is not perfect.
