In the 1960s-1970s butterflies on Polish folk art often symbolized themes of transformation, hope, and renewal, reflecting a broader cultural yearning for change and freedom during a politically and socially challenging time in Poland. The intricate, colorful designs of the butterflies added vibrancy to the kilims, contrasting with the often-muted tones of traditional textiles, making these symbols a subtle yet potent reminder of the possibility for growth and change. The colors include ivory, orange, yellow, green, brown, and black.History & Value: After World War II, Poland saw a resurgence in textile arts as part of a broader effort to rebuild and reclaim national identity. The kilims from this era are often seen as symbols of resilience and cultural pride, reflecting the country’s history and the artisans’ dedication to preserving their heritage. The production of these kilims was relatively limited, often made in workshops or by individual artisans. The natural dyes used further enhance this piece’s value, as it ages beautifully over time. Handmade of wool, this large horizontal piece measures 40" X 15.5”, not including the tassles. It could serve as a focal point wall hanging, table runner, or rug. Bring a piece of Polish heritage to your home or business décor with this unique and beautiful tapestry. Usually ships same day or next business day PRIORITY MAIL from California.
