BATIK PAREO (SARONG) FROM THE NORTH COAST OF JAVA, INDONESIA LATE 19TH CENTURY (1875-1900)

Description:
Batik on cotton, exclusive and rare sarong, made and dyed entirely by hand, the fabric is decorated with the tree of life, which is found combined in the calico fabrics of the Coromandel coast in India and which was popular among Indo-European women of the 19th century. East Indies.

A good batik with attractive end panels, this Batik probably belongs to the Bangbiron group due to the use of only red and blue in a fantastic presence and vibrant colors.

This Javanese cotton batik sarong was purchased in Java during the period 1890-1910, kept in the trunk and was never worn because not all the major steps in the creation of this batik were completed, only the final minor steps: the wax was not completely eliminated and resulted in a fine canvas-like texture, the ends and the final seamless folding. The result is a pristine antique textile that has never been used, it can be used as a print model for a textile workshop, or hung as an ancient relic.

In very good condition and preserved for its age, it only shows small signs of aging, it has three small holes that are barely noticeable, noted in the photographs, but the colors remain vibrant and almost intact. Please see the photos that are in the description.

Measurement: 200x076cm.
SKU: 3642153761351125
Note: There are no changes as it is a unique, rare and exclusive piece.
