Product Description
A classic Zapotec design hand-woven 100% wool rug. Attention is drawn to the centre of the rug by crisp and clear geometric patterns which are striking by their simplicity and precision. This stylish geometric design rug is subtle and elegant ideally suited to compliment modern or classic décor. The paler shades of wool are defined by the darker shades which add depth to the pattern. Hand-woven, this 100% wool rug contains no dyes, only natural shades of wool. Sorting wool into different shades is a very lengthy process that requires patience and a good eye for colour. Grey colours are achieved by carding white and black wool together, and beige shades are obtained from the wool around the hauches. The detail of the design makes its weaving a very time consuming process, as the bundles of wool constantly have to be changed.
The rug is made using traditional Zapotec methods under the supervision of Don Isaac Vásquez, the man credited with reviving the disappearing pre-Hispanic techniques, along with famous Mexican artist Francisco Toledo.
