Baule Stripwoven Textile Côte d'Ivoire 58x40inch
Width: 58.5
Description
Baoulé strip-woven textile from Côte d’Ivoire, featuring a striking geometric design in deep blue, white, pink, yellow, and green. The textile is composed of narrow woven strips joined together to create a larger cloth, with finely detailed striped passages and small geometric supplementary-weft motifs distributed across the blue ground. The bold color palette and rhythmic geometric patterning are characteristic of West African textile traditions.
We do not recommend laundering textiles, and do not accept returns of textiles which have been laundered in any manner. Even dry cleaning is too much for some of these antique textiles. For some of them, a very gentle HAND washing (NEVER MACHINE, on any setting) in cool water with a very gentle detergent works, but even then, dyes may not be colorfast, and fabric may be less strong than it appears.
