Chimú Wave Centerpiece

Description

The Chimú Wave Centerpiece connects contemporary Morrope weavers to the ancient Chimú civilization that once flourished along Peru's northern coast. Using a supplementary warp technique, artisans selectively raise and hide colored threads to create the intricate diagonal curl pattern—a design passed down through generations since pre-Columbian times. The naturally pigmented heritage cotton produces the rich purples at the edges and warm oranges in the center, contrasting beautifully with cream threads. No dyes are used, just the colors the cotton naturally grows in. At 10x22 inches, this textile is perfect as a table centerpiece, dresser accent, or displayed under a favorite object to showcase its detailed pattern and cultural significance.
