Antique Japanese Indigo Boro Textile, Late 19th–Early 20th Century

£1,100.00
A double-sided antique Japanese Boro textile composed of multiple layers of historical, hand-patched indigo fabrics. Dating from the late 19th to early 20th century (Meiji Era), this rare heirloom piece effortlessly bridges the gap between ancient Japanese folk art and modern abstract minimalism. 

Materials & Natural Dyes

100% Handwoven, homespun, and hand-stitched original indigo-dyed cotton fabrics. Through decades of careful handling, natural ageing, and repeated washings, the textile has evolved a magnificent, complex patina. It features a spectacular spectrum of faded botanical indigos, earthy madder-browns and subtle, muted earth tones.

Approx Size: 162 x 154cm / 65.7 x 60.6"
Weight: 4.3kg

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 cold water, but it has not been given a deep wash since we acquired it from the previous owner.

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.
