Zosimo Laura comes from a respected family of weavers in rural Peru, although he had to relocate to an urban center because of political unrest many years ago. He still weaves rugs the traditional way, using a pedal loom, like with this wool fiber rug woven on a cotton warp. The design is based off those from cultures that predate the Inca.

The ancestral Andean lands inspire an elegant design crafted in honor of the ancient Inca Empire. Master artisan Gamaniel Esmit, from Peru, uses wool yarns to handloom this area rug, all in a warm palette for a luxurious touch. On top of that, this precious artwork comes with geometric and star motifs classic to the region, finishing in graceful fringes.
