Our collection of artworks includes narrative paintings such as Gond, Madhubani, Warli and Bhil from around India, watercolours and prints of works by European artists travelling in South Asia in the 18th and 19th century, postcards and stereographs.
Country & Eastern supports the livelihoods of the craftspeople in the countries we work in as well as the work of the museum.
Country & Eastern offer a vast range of hand knotted rugs and flat weave kelims, block printed bedding, table linen, hand embroidered crewel curtains and other soft furnishings, clothing, jewellery and a selection of handicrafts. Some of the crafts we focus on are block printing, ajrakh, tie and dye, ikat, crewel embroidery, kalamkari, brass casting, marble work and rug weaving.
Our online shop stocks only a selection of our products. Our shop in Norwich has a wider range of hand crafted products made by artisans in South and South East Asia.
