Antique James Taylor & Co. Manchester “Krishna Bullaram” Textile Trade Label – Framed

A highly decorative vintage Indian-market textile trade label bearing the name James Taylor & Co., Manchester, featuring a colourful traditional depiction of Krishna and Bullaram/Balaram.
The label carries the printed wording “KRISHNA BULLARAM TRADE MARK REGD. 1ST CLASS NO. 2535” along with “JAMES TAYLOR & CO MANCHESTER.” The central composition shows the two richly ornamented figures surrounded by architectural columns, floral motifs and vivid period colours, creating a striking example of early commercial artwork made for the Indian textile market.
Preserved inside an old wooden frame, the label retains attractive natural ageing, surface wear and patina, giving it the character expected from genuine vintage advertising ephemera.
