Contemporary @ Heirloom - Every other month we highlight a new fiber artist who is either innovating or honoring this ancient tradition.
Richard's work focuses on the ability to change a historical narrative by adding what he terms "interferences" through embellishing found toile and tapesetries with hand embroidery to adapt their original meaning, thus rewriting or updating history in a sense.
Every other month we spotlight a specific rug or textile, taking a deeper dive into it's history and symbolism. For this edition of Dealer's notes we head to undivided Bengal to learn about the history of Nakshi Kantha.
named for the ancient eye makeup also known as Kohl, it has entered the rug lexicon as a term describing the deepest blue/black tones.
We are excited to announce the addition of our new Flea Market Picks to our site. Here you will find a curated section of handmade items offered at a lower price point.
We're very excited to share a group of incredibly talented contemporary fiber artists that we love and support. Each artist has a selection of their work for sale through our site.
