Thrace Carnival Vintage Textile

The magic carpet
Journey to lands through the stars
Seeking love as ours

DESCRIPTION

Bursting with the joyous spirit of Northern Greece, this handwoven woolen textile is a celebration of color and craft. Rich stripes of crimson, emerald, amber, and deep violet are punctuated with delicate embroidered florals, capturing the vibrant traditions of Thrace. The multi-colored tassel fringe adds a playful touch, reminiscent of festive gatherings and community celebrations in the mountainous villages. Both bold and intricate, "Thrace Carnival" brings a touch of Greek festivity to any space—draped over a sofa, as a wall hanging, or layered on a bed for an evocative splash of color and heritage.

As a rug, it grounds a space with warmth and history. As a wall hanging, it transforms into a statement of artistry. Draped over furniture, it introduces a well-traveled aesthetic. More than décor, this is a woven heirloom—a vibrant fragment of Northern Greece’s weaving traditions, bringing authenticity and culture into contemporary living.

Each entirely unique, Anthologist’s textiles are a coveted collection of those sought-after, magazine page-worthy pieces that are sure sell-outs. All of our stock is sourced from personal collections of the highest quality craftsmanship, with each piece hand-chosen by our founder based on rarity, provenance, and artisanal integrity. When sourced, most textiles remain NFS (not for sale) in our founder’s personal collection, with each piece slowly released into the inventory on an ongoing basis.

As each piece was painstakingly handmade on a loom, there can be natural defects, as well as minor signs of age, appropriate to its provenance and past use, which we find quite beautiful, adding to its soul.
