About the Item

80431, distressed vintage Calavera Sugar Skull rug Inspired by Alexander McQueen. Drawing inspiration from Alexander McQueen, Día de los Muertos, and Disney's Coco movie, this hand knotted wool distressed vintage Calavera skull area rug has been crafted from a vintage Persian Tabriz that has been overdyed in blue hues. It is adorned with decorative elements of florals, marigolds, hearts, rosary, and geometric accents honoring a deceased loved one on All Saint's Day. The piece was made through a process of distressing and over-dyeing, with the artist then hand-carving away the design from the pile of the rug. The original designs of the Persian rug peek through the blue colored dye with floriate vines and palmettes visible. With its Día de los Muertos or Day of the Dead symbolism of duality, the elegant design of the sugar skull is representative of remembrance, death, return or a symbol of spirituality.
