AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
To captivate collectors and lovers of authentic textile art. I offer this magnificent handmade rug, measuring 2m x 2.9m, acquired in the Vosges/Alsace region.
As a former sheep farmer, I guarantee the authenticity and superior quality of this “living” wool, rich in natural lanolin.
Highlights of this unique piece:
Unparalleled suppleness: This rug possesses rare flexibility, comparable to that of a blanket or throw ("duvet effect"). It can be folded into a square or hexagon without ever leaving marks or breaking the weave, a sign of exceptional artisanal weaving.
Authentic Mountain Wool: A dense, soft, insulating wool, giving off that characteristic scent of purity that only connoisseurs know how to recognize.
Symbolism and Design: Adorned with complex geometric motifs (hooks and protection symbols) with great visual clarity, reminiscent of the historic crests of the border region.
Condition: A heritage piece, very well maintained, offering perfect thermal insulation for harsh winters.
A durable investment that brings warmth and historic elegance to your interior.
