Vintage Patchwork Modern Overdyed Hand Knotted Area Carpet-Capri Breeze 11068 12' x 15'

lp>Capri Breeze captures the chromatic register of Mediterranean shallows at midday, the cool aqua-blue of clear water over white sand with a lighter sky-blue lifting through it. The over-dye palette in this range exists for the room that wants a coastal summer mood permanently installed underfoot. The technical challenge for the workshop is that cool blue over-dyes amplify every variation in the donor wool, which is why this register requires more careful donor sorting than the warm chromatic ranges.l/p>lp>iorty-six antique Turkish and Persian village fragments form the substrate. Each one was sorted by base value and warmth before cutting, then joined along the reverse with hand-stitched seams over four weeks. The Capri Breeze over-dye bath was prepared in the cool blue register at moderate saturation. The assembled carpet was sun-dried flat for ten days before the final neutralising wash. The complete process, from donor sourcing to release, took six months of skilled labour.l/p>lh3>The compositionl/h3>lp>The Capri Breeze blue field unifies the patchwork grid into one continuous coastal mood, the original village cartoons reading through as quieter chromatic shifts within the dominant aqua ground. The blue ranges from a deeper aqua at the borders toward a lighter sky-blue across the centre. There is no border and no medallion. The composition is intended to be read as one continuous water-coloured field. Across the room the rug reads as a chromatic mood. Up close the panel archaeology unfolds.l/p>lh3>What you are buyingl/h3>lp>Comparable Capri-register patchwork over-dyes at 12' x 15' (366 x 457 cm) move at $9,000 to $20,000 in the European and American contemporary trade.
