Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 1900s:
Hand-stitched central seam joining two narrow loom widths: traditional backstrap loom weaving.
Hand-spun cotton yarns with visible slubs: spun by hand before commercial threads predominated.
Warp-resist ikat dyeing: feathered colour boundaries produced on the loom.
Uneven light fading across the cloth: gradual exposure over many decades of use.

This Independent Date Guide was compiled by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. It works only from the photographs shown on this page and is never told the date the dealer has declared. It is a guide, not a guarantee of age, and occasional errors can occur.

This large antique wall hanging from Borneo dates to 1900 and exemplifies Indonesian tribal style. Constructed from handspun cotton, it displays terracotta, cream, and grey colourways, forming a rectangular shape measuring 241 cm high, 140 cm wide, and 1 cm deep. The handwoven textile consists of two vertical cotton panels joined and stitched through the centre, presenting soft colours and light time marks alongside recurring stylised anthropomorphic figures with ghost faces within zig-zag chevron bands and hooked geometric borders. Suitable for placement above a sideboard in a living room or hallway, the piece integrates well into bohemian interior schemes. The soft palette and intricate patterning create a distinct decorative statement when hung upon a wall. The construction shows no holes or repairs, presenting a preserved example of traditional textile craft from the Indonesian archipelago.

FAQs

In Borneo, particularly among the Iban Dayak people, handwoven ikat textiles known as pua kumbu were crafted for ceremonial and spiritual purposes. These resist-dyed cloths served as sacred barriers, ritual garments, and status symbols depicting complex cosmological stories and ancestral protection motifs.

Traditional ikat panels are created using a warp-resist dyeing technique where cotton yarns are tightly wrapped with plant fibres in specific patterns before dyeing. Once dyed using natural roots, barks, and leaves, the yarns are carefully aligned on a back-strap loom and woven into dense fabric, often joined down the centre seam.

Authentic antique pieces display slight irregularities from hand-spun yarns, subtle tonal variations characteristic of natural vegetable dyes, and hand-stitched central join seams. The reverse side should show clear, saturated patterns rather than a printed surface, reflecting complete dye penetration through the warp threads.

Mount the textile onto a simple wooden header rod or flush-frame it behind non-reflective glass to hang above a sideboard or sofa. The organic geometric patterns and warm terracotta tones provide textural warmth and contrast against minimalist plaster or contemporary wooden panelling.

Display the panel away from direct sunlight and artificial heat sources to prevent thread embrittlement and colour fading. Maintenance requires light vacuuming through a fine mesh screen on a low-suction setting, avoiding water or chemical cleaning solutions.
