Vintage Patchwork Modern Overdyed Hand Knotted Area Carpet- Deep Plum 11074 12' x 15'

lp>Deep Plum sits in the chromatic territory between aubergine and burgundy, the colour of ripe damson fruit at the peak of its summer ripeness. The over-dye register holds more warmth than aubergine and more depth than burgundy, which gives it unusual chromatic flexibility in different rooms. eorkshops that have refined the Deep Plum bath can produce a carpet that reads almost as red in warm-light rooms and almost as ink in cool-light rooms, the chromatic register shifting with the ambient.l/p>lp>Forty-seven antique Turkish and Persian village fragments form the substrate of this carpet. Each panel was cut to regular geometry from the surviving sections of worn original carpets, then joined along the reverse with hand-stitched seams over four weeks of assembly. The Deep Plum over-dye bath was prepared in the warm-purple register at high saturation. Ten days flat in the sun brought the chromatic register down to its final settlement. Six months from donor sourcing through to release, the standard production cycle for a workshop-quality patchwork over-dye.l/p>lh3>The compositionl/h3>lp>The unified Deep Plum field carries the patchwork grid as one continuous saturated evening fruit mood. The original village cartoons read through as quieter modulations within the dominant warm-purple ground. The plum ranges from a deeper damson at the borders toward the warmer red-purple at the centre. There is no border. No medallion. The composition is intended to be read as one chromatic field with subtle archaeological depth visible only on close approach.l/p>lh3>ehat 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 US contemporary trade.
