$167 $222

Size: 4.1 x 2.3 ft.

Origin: Peru

Circa: 1980s

Material: Pure Wool

This vintage tribal Peruvian wool tapestry is a striking example of Andean textile art, featuring a bold central figure rendered in abstract, geometric form, surrounded by symbolic motifs and traditional iconography. Woven in a warm, earthy palette of black, cream, terracotta, camel, and crimson, the composition includes dynamic horizontal bands and stepped patterns that frame the figure with rhythm and balance. The central motif appears to depict a ceremonial figure with intricate headdresses and stylized features, possibly inspired by Incan or pre-Columbian imagery. Handwoven from natural wool, this tapestry embodies the spirit of indigenous craftsmanship and storytelling, making it an eye-catching piece for collectors of folk art, bohemian decor, or ethnographic textiles.

Authentic vintage and antique South American kilims are handwoven with cotton or wool. Each one is an exceptional work of art and one of a kind.

Pictures are taken in natural light to portray the most realistic colours possible. Due to these kilims' handmade and preloved nature, slight imperfections and flaws are not defects.

Our kilims are professionally restored, and the fringes secured, ensuring many more years of life. 

Our kilims are professionally cleaned.

It’s 1990 all over again!

In the early 1990’s, my wife I were obsessed with hand woven, vegetable dyed Turkish carpets from Azeri/Woven Legends. We spent so much time at ABC Carpet & Home in NYC, we became good friends with the head rug buyer!! We haven’t purchased a rug in years, but I found a wonderful Woven Legends carpet at Shopvintagerugs and bought myself an early birthday present. The rug was shipped from Pakistan on Monday, made its way to Dubai, then Boston, Memphis and finally arrived to us today. I couldn’t be happier!
