Ethnic Rug AD038 163x155cm

163x155cm ethnic rug made of sheep wool woven high in the Andes. The background is printed with geometric rhombuses in pink and aqua green tones. At the ends there are several plain red and green stripes.

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 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.
