"Maffrash Karabag Caucasus. Circa 1880. 140 X 105 Cm"
Superb Maffrash Karabakh originating from Armenia in the Caucasus. Mixed technique: wool on wool. Weaving and Sumak. The piece displays an extremely fine and tight weave. The motifs seem literally sculpted into the material. Ultra-precise work of perfect mastery. The weaver's dexterity is evident throughout her work... Dyes are exclusively natural and plant-based. The central section features a succession of horizontal bands woven with a dense and saturated indigo blue, deep and luminous. Absolutely beautiful. The piece is referenced in specialized books. It is a small work of art! Circa 1880. Perfect condition. Dimensions: 140 x 105 cm. Laurent Beauty of Kilims
