A Symphony of Craft: Hand-Dyed Ikat on Silk Velvet
What sets this Geometric Floral Ikat Velvet apart is the astonishing combination of two highly complex and ancient textile traditions: ikat and silk velvet. Every aspect of its creation is a testament to 100% handmade mastery, using natural dyes to achieve its vibrant, yet profound, hues.
Hand-Dyed Silk Ikat (70% Natural Silk): The process begins with the silk threads (70% of the composition), which are meticulously hand-tied and resist-dyed using the traditional ikat technique. This creates the intricate pattern that will emerge during weaving. The natural dyes ensure deep, lasting color and minimal environmental impact.
Woven with Cotton (30% Cotton): These precisely patterned silk threads are then carefully woven on a handloom with natural cotton threads (30% of the composition). The cotton provides a sturdy, yet supple, base, giving the velvet structure and exceptional durability.
The Art of Velvet Weaving: The final step involves the specialized art of velvet weaving, where extra warp threads are carefully looped and then precisely cut to create the characteristic dense, soft, light-catching pile. This painstaking process brings the ikat pattern to life on the luxurious velvet surface, allowing it to subtly shift and glow, creating an almost sculptural effect.
The signature abr (cloud) effect, the soft, feathered edges of the motifs, adds a soulful, organic quality to the opulent velvet pile, reminding us that this Geometric Floral Ikat Velvet is a true work of human art, unparalleled by machine.
The Anatomy of a Woven Garden
The pattern of this fabric is a celebration of ornate beauty and powerful symmetry, perfectly suited to the profound texture of velvet.
Architectural Blooms: The design features elegant, scrolling forms and stylized medallions that distinctly resemble majestic floral blooms, perhaps inspired by tulips or pomegranates, but rendered with a strong geometric underpinning. These are arranged in a rhythmic, undulating cascade that creates a sense of continuous, fluid grandeur, enhanced by the velvet’s subtle sheen.
The Tree of Life: The overall vertical arrangement of the motifs, with central stems and branching forms, evokes the ancient “Tree of Life” motif, symbolizing growth, connection, and eternal vitality, creating a deep cultural resonance.
A Dance of Light and Depth: The interplay of the vivid red, vibrant yellow, and cool blue, against the deep grey/black, highlighted by the crisp definition created by the ikat resist, gives the fabric an almost three-dimensional quality. The way the velvet pile catches and reflects light makes the pattern appear to shift and glow, adding to its captivating allure, like jewels hidden in a mystic garden.
