The Portal Brocade is handwoven with a series of nested diamonds, symbolising layers of existence and the gateways between worlds. In Maya tradition, the diamond represents universal harmony, the four cardinal directions and the journey through time and spirit – a design that honours the portals connecting the physical and spiritual realms, and the cycles of transformation and renewal.
Woven in warm, earthy rust on an ivory ground, the diamonds glow with a sun-baked richness – a small piece that brings real warmth and character to a shelf, a gallery wall or a quiet corner.
The textile is hand-sewn onto heavyweight linen and set within a bespoke oak frame, professionally made in Cheshire, UK. Seeming to float within the frame, its depth and texture invite a closer look.
Each textile is woven by skilled artisans using heritage techniques, resulting in a piece that carries both craftsmanship and cultural meaning.
