The Palo Borracho Día Tapestry
This tapestry was woven in Salta, Argentina, by expert weaver Marcos Condori on a traditional loom using lambswool that is spun and dyed by hand. The asymmetries and beauty marks are part of what makes this artisanal piece so unique, and in our eyes, so perfect.
Pictured is the Palo Borracho, or Drunken Stick tree, which is native to Argentina. The tree is renowned for its gourd-like shape, massive thorns, and beautiful flowers, and is the subject of many ancient folktales.

Cornelio Barconti along with the help of his family weaves incredible wool tapestries and area rugs. Cornelio lives in rural Jujuy, Argentina.
Hand made from start to finish.
Cornelio and co spin the wool into yarn using home-made wheels, dye the yarn using primarily natural pigments, and then weave intricate patterns on artisanal looms. The result is outstanding.
