Antique Japanese Boro Textile, Early 20th Century

£550.00
A double-sided antique Japanese Boro textile composed of multiple layers of historical, indigo, hand-patched fabrics, dating from Taisho era (1912-1926). Because both faces feature their own unique, intricate arrangement of fabrics, this versatile piece is completely reversible and suitable for double-sided display. This item features distinctly different textile patterns, higher contrast, and intense signs of age. The front showcases an incredible, chaotic mosaic of textured farming fabrics, while the reverse features a striking, highly sought-after Kasuri (ikat) resist-dyed pattern.

Materials & Natural Dyes

100% Handwoven, homespun, and hand-stitched antique cotton, indigo fabrics. Through decades of careful handling, natural ageing, and repeated washings, the textile has evolved a magnificent, complex patina.

Approx Size: 125 x 120cm / 49.2 x 47.2" 
Weight: 1.05kg

Condition & Antique Character
As an authentic antique artifact, this piece carries the beautiful imprints of its previous life. It possesses a pure wabi-sabi aesthetic, with honest signs of age, utility, and historic repair.

What to Expect: Beautiful areas of natural fading, uneven colour saturation, organic edge fraying, thinning zones, visible historical marks, and multi-layered fabric windows. These elements are not flaws, but rather the highly coveted characteristics that verify its absolute antiquity.

The garment has been rinsed through with cold water, but it has not been given a ddep wash since we acquired it from the previous owners.

Note: Please examine all high-resolution photographs carefully, as they form an essential part of the condition description. Colours may vary slightly in person depending on your screen settings and home lighting.
