Ethnic Carpet AD035 153x140cm

153x140cm ethnic rug made of sheep wool woven high in the Andes. A very elaborate loom, with lots of geometric patterns, one rhombus inside another and this one inside another. Its tones are soft, powdery reds, pinks, mustard and ecru. its perimeter is finished with a beautiful crochet trimming.

This Cusco blanket is woven by hand 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 can 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.
