We are closing our doors so everything has been reduced!
Check my “Me” page on ebay (next to the star with my number of transactions) for valuable information about all we carry besides what is currently listed since we do not have time to list everything at once and will add these other items as time permits. If you have any questions, contact us or call for documents on pieces.
All our collector and rare items come with pages and pages of research about provenance, and with history of the tribes and photos as well, depending on item and whenever possible. When shipping internationally, we group ship multiple purchases to save you money, and find the best rates which ebay often fails to calculate right. If you have any questions or want to see research conducted on this piece and photos of tribes, email or call us.
We have artifacts and architectural accents up to 10 ft tall that we will put on upon request because shipping has to be calculated.
You are buying the textile in the first 2 photos
An Intricate red ikat textile with gold touches and with Traditional geometric motifs and of a nice size 96 x 48", it exists in 5 slightly varied colors seen on the first 5 pictures and all are listed in our store. You are buying direct and saving money as a result. Other photos show other ikats available in our sales in other motifs from photo 3 to 12, unless they have been sold, just ask if you want another one and we will direct you to that sale.
We have 100's of motifs, patterns, styles & colors available, from different islands, in these textiles as seen on the additional photos, and many different sizes (from runners to king size ikats). Design choices range from stripes or geometric motifs to animal, people, or village scenes, ancestor patterns etc… with colors ranging from earth tones to blues, reds, green, purple etc... I show only portions of the ikat for sale here, usually ½ of it is shown so that weave and colors can be better appreciated with the resulting close-up.
Super Value, Compare at $150.00 & up per piece for this size on the internet. Our prices are very low as we sell mostly wholesale and we go straight to the source to find these treasures, so you are getting the advantage of that saving as well as the advantage of the wholesale price without having to purchase the usual quantities needed to reach that price cut.
All our handcrafted or rare collector items come with pages and pages of research, also with a provenance and history of the tribes, with photos included whenever possible.
Item description: These pieces are large and hard to fit on one picture, each can differ slightly and can be slightly shorter or longer by 1” or so (size mentioned includes the hand twisted fringes) as they are each a unique product.
Our Ikats are beautifully made with very tight weave. They can have many uses: as a throw over a couch, as a wall hanging, as a tablecloth, bedspread, as a beach mat etc… They can be made into drapes or pillows, pocketbooks or clothing such as jackets, shawls or long skirts as they are beautiful and unique textiles and very rich looking,. They wash very well and are extremely sturdy. We have many ikats and other collectables available and if you do not see what you like here, contact us and we can make more styles available to you. Our ikats were selected by us, for their patterns & beauty, a dozen or so at a time in remote villages on small Indonesian islands along our route. They are a traditional product, and specific artisans and villages are often recognized for their patterns. We select each ikat ourselves, carefully, while on the premises, to insure the best & most intricate traditional motifs as well as the most beautiful colors.
We also carry varied sizes of unique hand-carved wooden display bars also available in our booth if you wish to display your unique textile or tapestry on the wall, for a very chic eclectic look. We have Display Textile Rods Bars ranging in size from 15” to 78” long and we also have many designs and styles available. The effect as a wall hanging is truly striking and the cost extremely reasonable especially when you see the result!
