A masterpiece of mid-century women's craftsmanship, this magnificent heritage cloth showcases the intricate "Eight-Harness Tàhuā" weaving technique - an elaborate process requiring exceptional skill to create raised, embroidered-like patterns directly in the loom. The stunning result features the iconic Double Happiness (喜) character surrounded by an elaborate eight-panel floral motif, all woven - not printed - into the very structure of the fabric.
Measuring 46cm wide and sold in 50cm units, this textile represents the pinnacle of traditional Chinese weaving. Each segment carries the legacy of the craftswomen who poured their artistry and patience into creating these celebratory patterns, making this not just fabric but a preserved moment of cultural heritage.
