Vintage Zapotec Style Wool Rug - 'Houses'
Zapotec Style Wool Rug
The village of Teotitlan del Valle has a long weaving tradition that dates back to Prehispanic times. It is known that the Zapotec people of Teotitlan paid tribute to the Aztecs in woven goods, although the weaving of that time was quite different from today.
This charming Native American handwoven rug showcases a series of small, quaint house motifs, each depicted with intricate attention to detail and a minimalist aesthetic. The design features various houses in shades of grey, white, black, and ochre, arranged against a soft beige background. Each house is uniquely styled, reflecting a community's architectural diversity, with elements like windows, doors, and rooftops adding a touch of character to each structure.
Crafted from high-quality wool, this rug offers both durability and a pleasing texture, making it a cozy and welcoming addition to any home. The use of natural dyes highlights the weaver's connection to their environment and heritage, creating a piece that is as much a story as it is a work of art. This rug is perfect for those who appreciate the blend of traditional craftsmanship with modern design elements, adding warmth and cultural richness to any space.
Dimensions: 32" x 36"
