Ethnic Carpet AD072 163x78cm

Cusquenian blanket 168x78cm made of sheep wool woven high in the Andes. It has a purple and navy blue marbled border design.

This Cusquenian blanket 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 ethnic looms are composed of 100% sheep wool dyed with natural pigments. Its color may vary and it is sensitive to direct light.

We recommend dry cleaning the carpet.
