  1. Got these 3 vintage textiles, my uncle said they were from India and old but we don't really know how old are they. Sorry about the picture it was taken years ago using an old Nokia Phone. Any help appreciates it.

    Yes, printed cotton from India.
    It is not batik, in batik you see lines from the crushed wax. Batiked cotton is usually heavier, not delicate like this. Jo will know, he is from Indonesia, homeland of batik.;)
    It is hard to see how old they are. Could you take photograph them in their entirety so we can see what they look like, and more detailed photos, also of the seams/edges?

  6. Thank you for the heads up! so it is Printed Cotton? not hand painted? I would love to take more pictures unfortunately my uncle is in Sulawesi and I'm in Java lol, I'll ask my uncle to take more pics of them. My uncle also collecting antique textiles, some of them are quite rare, I'll post them later on
