Large Peruvian Arpillera Textile Scene, 39" Folk Art Wall Hanging
This vibrant handmade Peruvian-style arpillera textile depicts a bustling Andean village scene, richly constructed with layered appliqué, embroidery, and stuffed three-dimensional elements. The composition features villagers harvesting produce, llamas grazing in bright pastures, tiled-roof houses, blooming flowers, and lively market goods such as carrots, citrus, radishes, yarn bundles, and woven baskets. Multiple textures—felt, cotton, woven straw, and stitched accents—create a dynamic, tactile landscape that celebrates regional folk-art traditions.
The piece’s generous 39-inch square size makes it a striking wall display, ideal for collectors of Latin American textiles or anyone seeking a colorful statement artwork. A cheerful sun, mountains, and detailed flora reinforce the charm and narrative depth of this traditional craft.
Condition
Good overall, with light surface wear and minor wrinkles from handling. Colors remain bright, and appliqué elements are intact. Some slight waviness along the edges is visible, as shown in photos, but does not affect display.
Dimensions
39" H x 39" W
