Ethnic Rug AB003 158x146cm

Ethnic rug 158x146cm made of sheep wool woven high in the Andes. It is a very simple loom with plain borders in yellow, fuchsia, maroon, red and blue. This rug is hand-woven in the South American Altiplano. It has been woven on a wooden loom that is tied at one end to a pole and at the other end to the weaver’s waist. An alpaca bone has been used to braid the wool to make the drawings. Being such a manual work, it may present small irregularities and “perfect imperfections”. The looms are made of 100% sheep’s wool dyed with natural pigments. Its color may vary and it is sensitive to direct light. We recommend dry cleaning the carpet.
