Wool Roses Rug Boho 1960s Vintage Organic Handmade Wall Hanging Christmas Throw
About the Item
A small rug, imported from Greece, and featuring a red rose pattern on a tan background. This piece is handwoven from organic wool, and consists of two identically sized panels, hand-stitched together to create a larger rug. This technique was necessary due to the looming machines of the day only being able to weave a rug of a certain width, so if you wanted to create something larger you had to turn to the needle and thread.
The red roses are in an almost pixelated style – this is due to the nature of the looming machine. As a result, the rug is pleasingly imperfect. The piece is finished with a deep red meandering tower pattern, three red stripes, and tassels at each end of the rug.
You could either use it as a sofa throw, wall hanging or as rug. Eitherway the folk boho look would make your space look cosy and inviting.
This rug is not just a fantastic piece of folk art. The tradition in this part of Greece is that young girls, in preparation for their marriage dowry, must produce a huge amount of textile products with the help of their mothers and grandmothers. When the time comes to get married they display their wares to their village, taking them on a parade to their groom's house whilst accompanied by music and dance. The dowry law in Greece ended in 1982, but the tradition continues in some rural parts of the country to this day.
