Black Bees
These are hand woven on a traditional loom in Myanmar with cotton thread on cotton. You could pair them or just have them on their own.
DETAILS
H60cm x W35cm x D4.5cm
Bespoke framed in FSC wood and then painted in black.
As with all our traditionally framed pieces, we frame as green as we can. This beautifully embroidered textile is carefully wrapped around a conservation board. There is a 1.5cm spacer so the piece sits back into the breathable frame.
The wooden frame is painted with a chemical free waterborne paint.
PROVENANCE
Loom’s stunning designs are all woven by Chin women on traditional looms or backstrap looms, using the finest silk and cotton and dyed naturally. The patterns and motifs, of which there are over 150, reflect the Chin culture and each piece tells a unique story. We have drawn from these traditional patterns and reinterpreted them in a contemporary way – maintaining the relevance of this ancient art to modern life. Depending on the size and complexity of the design, a single piece can take between three weeks and several months to complete.
CARE
With all our frames use a soft cloth to remove any marks. We recommend a microfibre cloth for cleaning. Do not use anything abrasive.
