"Le Date" Carpet with magenta background
The artefact
This carpet in Sardinian wool in bright colours, typical of the textile tradition of Aggius, stands out for its polychrome composition with stark contrasts against a magenta background, in the distinctive composition with bands and geometric shapes, a date motif, taken from the rich traditional collection and differentiated by a specific name. Realised using a horizontal manual loom according to the recognisable local technique all'antiga, it can be customised in size, decoration and colour.
