Large 20th Century Sumba Ikat Textile Panel (Trade)

$925.00
| /

This spectacular textile is an authentic Antique Indonesian Ikat Panel, defined by its commanding height and intricate, masterful weaving. Measuring a monumental 46 inches wide by 100 inches long, this textile is a profound statement piece.  Ikat (to bind or knot) is a technique where the threads are meticulously dyed before the cloth is woven, creating the characteristic blurred and complex patterns. Textiles of this size and dark palette (deep blue/black, and oxidized red) often served as ceremonial shrouds, prestige mantles, or important display cloths in island traditions like Sumba or Flores. The pattern features strong vertical bands interspersed with delicate, repeating floral or vine motifs, symbolizing fertility and the ancestral world.

The exceptional 8' height makes this Ikat ideal for architectural spaces. Hang it vertically in a stairwell, hallway, or double-height living room to emphasize ceiling height. Add this vintage Ikat fabric to your bedroom or living room for a pop of color and texture. 

The dark muted colors are perfect for Farmhouse, Scandinavian, or Japandi interiors, where they introduce texture and structure without competing with a minimalist aesthetic.
