This beautifully backstap loomed textile is carefully stretched around a solid board which is then dropped into the box frame. There is a 2.5cm spacer so the piece sits back into the breathable frame.
Our acrylic box frames have a split batten and a keyhole mirror plate, either one will allow the piece to sit flat against the wall.
PROVENANCE
Loom’s stunning Myanmar collection 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.
