Style your space with this rare piece of agricultural history. This authentic, mid-century Chinese "Suo Yi" ensemble is a stunning example of ethnographic folk art. Hand-knotted by artisans in Southern China, this two-piece set features a dramatic shoulder cape and a coordinating wrap-around apron skirt.
Expertly crafted from natural palm silk and coir fibers, the garment showcases an incredible array of traditional weaving techniques. The neckline features a rigid, decorative coiled-binding, while the body utilizes a complex "shingled" layering system designed for water runoff. The result is a highly textural, sculptural silhouette that brings organic warmth and architectural interest to any wall.
Presented in its original mahogany-brown tone, this set is perfect for a global-inspired gallery wall, a coastal entry, or as a focal point in a modern minimalist space.
Set Includes: (1) Shoulder Cape, 42”Wx2”Dx24L(1) Wrap-around Apron/Skirt 24”Wx2”Dx21”L
