Vintage Patchwork Modern Overdyed Hand Knotted Area Carpet-Festival Fuschia11075 12' x 15'

lp>Festival Fuschia is the chromatic register of bougainvillea blossoms at the peak of late summer, a saturated bright pink with magenta and warm rose modulations across the field. The colour exists in the patchwork over-dye repertoire for the room that wants a major chromatic statement on the floor and is willing to commit to that statement architecturally. Bright pink at this scale is the textile equivalent of painting an entire room a single saturated colour. The carpet becomes the primary chromatic decision around which the rest of the room organises.l/p>lp>Forty-six antique Turkish and Persian village fragments form the substrate of this carpet, sorted with particular attention to warmth and base value because the bright over-dye register is unforgiving of donor inconsistency. The panels were cut to regular geometry and joined along the reverse with hand-stitched seams over four weeks. The Festival Fuschia over-dye bath was prepared at high saturation in the bright pink register. Ten days of flat sun-drying followed. Total cycle: six months of skilled work.l/p>lh3>The compositionl/h3>lp>The unified Festival Fuschia field holds the patchwork grid as one continuous saturated chromatic event. The original village cartoons read through as quieter modulations within the dominant pink ground. The chromatic intensity ranges from deeper magenta at the borders toward a brighter pink across the centre. There is no border. No central focus. The composition is intended to read as one chromatic decision, the textile equivalent of a major colour-field painting installed permanently underfoot.l/p>lh3>What you are buyingl/h3>lp>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. Bright over-dyes carry a workshop premium because the donor sorting and dye-chemistry control required are more demanding than the muted ranges. The carpet is workshop-direct from India. Each piece is by definition unrepeatable.l/p>lh3>The piece in a rooml/h3>lp>The 12' x 15' (366 x 457 cm) format anchors a generous lounge, a long dining area, or a primary bedroom with seating. The Festival Fuschia palette wants chalk or warm-white walls and quiet upholstery. Pairs with bleached oak, polished concrete, blackened steel, and undyed linen elements. Suits rooms with a single architectural feature the rug can dialogue with: a strong fireplace, a major art piece, a sculptural light fixture.l/p>lh3>Conservationl/h3>lp>Spring and autumn half-turns for even ageing. Weekly vacuuming on suction with no beater bar engagement. Spills addressed with clean cotton in a blotting motion. Bright over-dyes are more sensitive to UV than muted registers, so direct daylight should be controlled during peak hours. Cleaning at five-year intervals by a wool conservator who has worked with patchwork construction. Carpet life span runs four to six decades on this discipline.l/p>lh3>Referencel/h3>lul>lli>Medium: patchwork antique village carpet fragments, hand-stitched, over-dyedl/li>lli>Dimensions: 366 x 457 cm (12' x 15')l/li>lli>Construction: original hand-knotted Turkish and Persian village pieces, reassembledl/li>lli>Hands: assembly 4 weeks, dyeing and finishing 4 weeksl/li>lli>Pile: 6 mml/li>lli>Origin: India (assembled and finished)l/li>l/ul>lp>Free shipping across India.
