Vintage Patchwork Modern Overdyed Hand Knotted Area Carpet-Cool Blue 11071 12' x 15'

lp>Cool Blue takes its chromatic position between cobalt and slate, a deep blue with the saturation of a clear winter sky an hour after sunset. Over-dyeing patchwork panels in this register requires careful donor selection because cool blue over-dyes register every value variation more clearly than warmer chromatic ranges. The workshop response is to grade each donor fragment by base depth before cutting, which adds time at the front of the production cycle but produces a cleaner final field.l/p>lp>Forty-six antique Turkish and Persian village fragments form the substrate. The donors were graded for warmth and tonal depth so the Cool Blue over-dye would resolve consistently, then cut to regular geometric panels and joined with hand-stitched seams along the reverse over four weeks. The over-dye bath was applied in a controlled ambient at moderate saturation. Ten days of flat sun-drying brought the chromatic register to its final position. The complete process took roughly six months of skilled work.l/p>lh3>The compositionl/h3>lp>The Cool Blue field unifies the patchwork grid into one continuous evening-sky mood. The original village cartoons read through as quieter chromatic shifts within the dominant deep-blue ground, more visible at close approach than from across the room. There is no border. No central focus. The composition is intended to read as one saturated atmospheric field. The blue deepens slightly across the first decade as the over-dye matures into its second-stage settlement.l/p>lh3>What you are buyingl/h3>lp>Patchwork over-dyes at 12' x 15' (366 x 457 cm) sit at $9,000 to $20,000 in the European and American contemporary design trade.
