About the Item

This Sardinian rug from the middle of the century. XX is tied in wool with bouclé technique (eyelet technique) and is decorated with a geometric pattern, which refers to the archaic tradition of the island. The mélange colour of the base comes from the use of wool in its natural colour. The production of textile products in Sardinia has a very ancient origin: a trade of carpets and other handicrafts of the Sardinian tradition existed, according to the historical reconstruction and the findings, since the times of the ancient Romans. The production was stimulated mainly by the abundance of a raw material such as sheep wool, used as yarn. The activity has been handed down from generation to generation and some Sardinian families have specialized in it, giving life to workshops craftsmen or "companies" of wider scope
