Fine Vintage Laotian Silk Chok Weaving Interior Design Textiles
Located in London, GB
A beautiful Vintage Laotian hand woven silk chok cloth in black background with a variety of supplementary colours with detailed geometric and mythical animal designs, a stunning piece of silk weaving executed by some of the best and most skilled weavers in the world.

About weaving in Laos
The evolution of weaving in Laos, which emerged from the cultural contact between different ethnic groups, has created some of the most intricate and stunning textiles to come from the simple floor loom. For more than 40 years following World War II, Lao weaving all but disappeared. Within a few short years, Lao textiles, in particular the Lao Tai people's supplementary weft weaving, travelled from the brink of extinction to what is considered by collectors and connoisseurs to be amongst the finest textiles in the world.
Silk production, dying and weaving reached Laos with the arrival of the Tai Kadai people from Yunnan in today’s China, around 1,200 years ago. As they travelled through the region, they encountered the indigenous Mon-Khmer people who were already weaving other types of fabric, mostly raw cotton and hemp.
In Lao-Tai textiles...
