Description from the seller

Unique textile work, entirely handmade according to the ancient techniques of the Sicilian artisanal tradition. Each weave tells a story of patience, attention to detail and passion handed down from generation to generation.
The modano filet work has ancient traditions and is characteristic of certain areas of Italy where, since the 1500s, some schools were opened that allowed the transmission of this precious art.

Strictly handmade, see the photos also from the reverse side; this masterpiece requires thousands of hours of work, it starts as a bedspread but can also be used as a tablecloth or decorative textile.

Hosting such a refined object in one’s home is not just a touch of class, it is somewhat like safeguarding a fragment of noble history between the walls of the home, a tangible link with the mastery of the past, capable of restoring to everyday life the charm of timeless elegance.
