This is the first comprehensive overview of the court textiles
of the Kachhwaha Rajput court of Amber-Jaipur, which were among the finest ever
produced in India. While a few thousand historical pieces survive in the
Maharaja Sawai Man Singh II Museum in the City Palace, Jaipur, many now reside
in art collections across the world. Over 200 full colour images showcase some
of the most remarkable court textiles remaining in Jaipur and preserved
elsewhere. This book is one in a series illustrating the collections of
the Maharaja Sawai Man Singh II Museum, City Palace Jaipur. Others in the
series are Festivals at the Jaipur Court by Vibhuti
Sachdev, Arms and Armour at the Jaipur Court by Robert
Elgood, and Painting
& Photography at the Jaipur Court by Giles Tillotson and
Mrinalini Venkateswaran and Textiles of Rajasthan at the Jaipur Court by
Vandana Bhandari
