Vintage Handmade Black Brown Wool Runner

About This Piece

Vintage Design

This handmade wool runner features mixed colored flowers. Imported from Greece and more specifically from the mountainous Taksiyarhi village which was famous for its handmade rug production on looms. The tradition is that young girls have to start preparing their dowry for when the time comes to get married. As a result, they produce a huge amount of textile products with the help of their mothers and grandmothers. When the time comes to get married they have to display all their dowry to their village and take it to the groom's house accompanied by music. The dowery law in Greece ended in 1982 but the tradition continues until today. This piece was made in the 1960s.
