Consulter la cote et le prix de Kente Handwoven Cloth Blue Asante Ghana , 20th Century



Description : Additional Information: , , Kente cloth is the royal cloth of the Ashante, of Ghana. In many cases, the thread was obtained by carefully un-picking silk garments, and reweaving them. The looms have two or three heddles. Legend says that the Kente cloth weavers learned their skill from watching a spider, Anansi, who is a significant figure in African folklore. This textile exhibits different types of weft patterns. Each pattern has it own name and a proverb associated to it. It's , a medium size cloth for woman. Recommended Reading: Adler and Barbard's AFRICAN MAJESTY, the TEXTILE ART OF THE ASHANTI AND EWE We do not recommend laundering textiles, and do not accept returns of textiles which have been laundered in any manner.  ,Even dry cleaning is too much for some of these antique textiles.  ,For some of them, a very gentle HAND washing  ,(NEVER MACHINE, on any setting)  ,in cool water with a very gentle detergent works, but even then, dyes may not be colorfast, and fabric may be less strong than it appears.
