About the Item
Mid 20th Century Mexican Zapotec Carpet ( 5'9" x 8' - 175 x 245 )
This vibrant textile is a superb example of the enduring Zapotec weaving heritage, characterized by its durable flat-weave construction and bold use of color. Pieces from this era often represent a transition between traditional indigenous motifs and mid-century aesthetic demands, making them highly desirable antique rugs.
The palette is immediately arresting, featuring strong vertical bands of saturated magenta and olive green. These vivid hues frame central panels dominated by a soft, natural ground color, providing a necessary counterpoint to the intensity of the stripes. The skillful use of the ivory beige cream ensures the overall design remains balanced and visually accessible.
The design employs an emphatic striped structure, where each central ivory band contains repeating, stylized floral elements rendered in gold and brown. These motifs are linked by a dynamic, serrated zigzag line that runs vertically throughout the field. This continuous, repeating structure creates an allover design that draws the eye vertically along the length of the textile.
Given its dimensions of 5.09ft x 8.0ft, this Zapotec weaving is perfectly suited for use as a striking piece. Its geometric precision, combined with the warmth of the hand-dyed wool, offers a sophisticated yet spirited accent, reflecting the rich cultural tapestry of mid-century Mexican artistry.
